The twisting conjecture for quadrangulation flip graphs and simplicial complexes

At least 10 years old · documented by

Let QQ and Q′Q' be quadrangulations related by twisting along one inner edge. Write γQ\gamma_Q and γQ′\gamma_{Q'} for their undirected flip graphs, and GQG_Q and GQ′G_{Q'} for their associated simplicial complexes. Twisting conjecture. The undirected flip graphs γQ\gamma_Q and γQ′\gamma_{Q'} are isomorphic, and the simplicial complexes GQG_Q and GQ′G_{Q'} are isomorphic. The oriented flip-graphs are not asserted to be the same under this hypothesis. In particular, the conjecture predicts equality of the numbers of QQ-compatible and Q′Q'-compatible quadrangulations; a stronger enumerative invariance is proposed separately.
