The standardness conjecture for the census 4-ball
The standardness conjecture for the census 4-ball
Let be the specified 2-pentachoron cut-open Cappell--Shaneson complex, and let be the topological 4-ball containing described in the paper. Standardness conjecture for . is PL-homeomorphic to the standard 4-ball. This claim concerns a potential combinatorial obstruction to simplifying triangulations; the supplied text presents it among the paper's results and conjectures, but gives no resolution.
