Pachner complex model for Zwiebach's moduli space
Pachner complex model for Zwiebach's moduli space
Let be a surface of genus with boundary circles, whose boundary circles are triangulated into intervals. Pachner-complex conjecture. There exists a CW complex , called the Pachner complex, such that its vertices correspond to admissible triangulations of inducing the prescribed boundary triangulations; its edges correspond to Pachner moves, namely flips or stellar subdivisions and aggregations; it is homotopy equivalent to Zwiebach's moduli space ; for , it is homotopy equivalent to the component of the framed little disk operad, with an induced homology isomorphism
compatible with gluing of cobordisms or operadic composition in ; its faces correspond to admissible polygonal decompositions into polygons with at least three sides, equipped with a linear chart and a configuration chamber of at least zero floating points, with subfaces described locally by secondary-polytope combinatorics; and, for a cylinder with , the BV cycle represents the generator of
This is the proposed ideal combinatorial model of the moduli spaces governing the two-dimensional higher topological quantum field theory. The source does not state a resolution, and the notion of admissibility is explicitly left as a black box.
