Abstract

We consider in this work triangulations of Zn\mathbb{Z}^n that are periodic along Zn\mathbb{Z}^n. They generalize the triangulations obtained from Delaunay tessellations of lattices. Other important property is the regularity and central-symmetry property of triangulations. Full enumeration for dimension at most 44 is obtained. In dimension 55 several new phenomena happen: there are centrally-symmetric triangulations that are not Delaunay, there are non-regular triangulations (it could happen in dimension 44) and a given simplex has a priori an infinity of possible adjacent simplices. We found 950950 periodic triangulations in dimension 55 but finiteness is unknown.
