Uniqueness conjecture for the 15-vertex triangulation of a non-orientable 4-manifold
Uniqueness conjecture for the 15-vertex triangulation of a non-orientable 4-manifold
Let M=(S^3\text{\times\hspace{-1.62ex}_\hspace{-.4ex}_\hspace{.7ex}}S^1)\#({\mathbb C}{\bf P}^{\,2})^{\# 5}, and let denote the specified combinatorial triangulation of . A triangulation is vertex-minimal if it uses the minimum possible number of vertices among triangulations of the same manifold. Uniqueness conjecture. The combinatorial manifold is the unique vertex-minimal triangulation of with vertices. The paper identifies as a vertex-transitive triangulation of this manifold, but does not establish the asserted uniqueness.
