Abstract

In 1983, Banchoff and Kuhnel constructed a minimal triangulation of \CP2\CP^2 with 9 vertices. \CP3\CP^3 was first triangulated by Bagchi and Datta in 2012 with 18 vertices. Known lower bound on number of vertices of a triangulation of \CPn\CP^n is 1+(n+1)221 + \frac{(n + 1)^2}{2} for n3n \geq 3. We give explicit construction of some triangulations of complex projective space \CPn\CP^n with 4n+113\frac{4^{n+1}-1}{3} vertices for all nn. No explicit triangulation of \CPn\CP^n is known for n4n \geq 4.
