On the arboricity of manifolds

Geometric Topology 2023-10-24 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

The arboricity of a discrete 2-sphere is always 3. The arboricity of any other discrete 2-dimensional surface is always 4. For d-manifolds of dimension larger than 2, the arboricity can be arbitrary large and must be larger than d.
