We prove that for any knot $K$, there exists a one-vertex triangulation of the $3$-sphere containing an edge forming $K$. The proof is constructive, and based on fully augmented links. We use our method to produce ``complicated'' simplicial…
We give explicit realizations with small integer coordinates for all triangulated tori with up to 12 vertices. In particular, we provide coordinate-minimal realizations in general position for all triangulations of the torus with 7, 8, 9,…
A typical census of 3-manifolds contains all manifolds (under various constraints) that can be triangulated with at most n tetrahedra. Al- though censuses are useful resources for mathematicians, constructing them is difficult: the best…
For sufficiently large $n$, we show that in every configuration of $n$ points chosen inside the unit square there exists a triangle of area less than $n^{-8/7-1/2000}$. This improves upon a result of Koml\'os, Pintz and Szemer\'edi from…
In 1983, Banchoff and Kuhnel constructed a minimal triangulation of $\CP^2$ with 9 vertices. $\CP^3$ was first triangulated by Bagchi and Datta in 2012 with 18 vertices. Known lower bound on number of vertices of a triangulation of $\CP^n$…
Beside simplices, $n$-cubes form an important class of simple polyhedra. Unlike hyperbolic Coxeter simplices, hyperbolic Coxeter $n$-cubes are not classified. We show that there is no hyperbolic Coxeter $n$-cube for $n\geq~6$, and provide a…
A fixed set of vertices in the plane may have multiple planar straight-line triangulations in which the degree of each vertex is the same. As such, the degree information does not completely determine the triangulation. We show that even if…
Every noncompact surface is shown to have a (3,6)-tight triangulation, and applications are given to the generic rigidity of countable bar-joint frameworks in R^3. In particular, every noncompact surface has a (3,6)-tight triangulation that…
The complete sets of irreducible triangulations are known for the orientable surfaces with genus of 0, 1, or 2 and for the nonorientable surfaces with genus of 1, 2, 3, or 4. By examining these sets we determine some of the properties of…
Extending previous results on a characterization of all equilateral triangle in space having vertices with integer coordinates ("in $\mathbb Z^3$"), we look at the problem of characterizing all regular polyhedra (Platonic Solids) with the…
The convex hull of n+1 affinely independent vertices of the unit n-cube Cn is called a 0/1-simplex. It is nonobtuse if none its dihedral angles is obtuse, and acute if additionally none of them is right. In terms of linear algebra, acute…
We investigate the minimum number of cycles of specified lengths in planar $n$-vertex triangulations $G$. It is proven that this number is $\Omega(n)$ for any cycle length at most $3 + \max \{ {\rm rad}(G^*), \lceil…
For a given pair of numbers $(d,k)$, we establish the minimal number of vertices in pure $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes with non-trivial homology in dimension $k$. Furthermore, we solve the problem under the additional constraint of…
A triangulation of a surface is irreducible if there is no edge whose contraction produces another triangulation of the surface. In this work we propose an algorithm that constructs the set of irreducible triangulations of any surface with…
A triangulation of a punctured or pinched surface is irreducible if no edge can be shrunk without producing multiple edges or changing the topological type of the surface. The finiteness of the set of (non-isomorphic) irreducible…
We say that a triangle $T$ tiles a polygon $A$, if $A$ can be dissected into finitely many nonoverlapping triangles similar to $T$. We show that if $N>42$, then there are at most three nonsimilar triangles $T$ such that the angles of $T$…
In this article we proof the existence of 4-regular planar unit-distance graphs consisting only of unit triangles without additional triangles. It is shown that the smallest number of unit triangles is $\leq$6422.
We present the winning implementation of the Seventh Computational Geometry Challenge (CG:SHOP 2025). The task in this challenge was to find non-obtuse triangulations for given planar regions, respecting a given set of constraints…
We construct 2^{\Omega(n^{5/4})} combinatorial types of triangulated 3-spheres on n vertices. Since by a result of Goodman and Pollack (1986) there are no more than 2^{O(n log n)} combinatorial types of simplicial 4-polytopes, this proves…
Based on the work of Durhuus-J{\'o}nsson and Benedetti-Ziegler, we revisit the question of the number of triangulations of the 3-ball. We introduce a notion of nucleus (a triangulation of the 3-ball without internal nodes, and with each…
