We know that the polyhedra corresponding to the Platonic solids are equivelar. In this article we have classified completely all the simplicial equivelar polyhedra on ≤ 11 vertices. There are exactly 27 such polyhedra. For each n ≥ −4, we have classified all the ( p, q) such that there exists an equivelar polyhedron of type { p, q} and of Euler characteristic n. We have also constructed five types of equivelar polyhedra of Euler characteristic −2m, for each m ≥ 2.
We explicitly determine all the two-dimensional weak pseudomanifolds on 8 vertices. We prove that there are (up to isomorphism) exactly 95 such weak pseudomanifolds, 44 of which are combinatorial 2-manifolds. These 95 weak pseudomanifolds triangulate 16 topological spaces. As a consequence, we prove that there are exactly three 8-vertex two-dimensional orientable pseudomanifolds which allow degree three maps to the 4-vertex 2-sphere.
A normal pseudomanifold is a pseudomanifold in which the links of simplices are also pseudomanifolds. So, a normal 2-pseudomanifold triangulates a connected closed 2-manifold. But, normal d-pseudomanifolds form a broader class than triangulations of connected closed dmanifolds for d ≥ 3. Here, we classify all the 8-vertex neighbourly normal 3-pseudomanifolds. This gives a classification of all the 8-vertex normal 3-pseudomanifolds. There are 74 such 3-pseudomanifolds, 39 of which triangulate the 3-sphere and other 35 are not combinatorial 3-manifolds. These 35 triangulate six distinct topological spaces. As a preliminary result, we show that any 8-vertex 3-pseudomanifold is equivalent by proper bistellar moves to an 8-vertex neighbourly 3-pseudomanifold. This result is the best possible since there exists a 9-vertex nonneighbourly 3-pseudomanifold which does not allow any proper bistellar moves.
In this article, we consider the bipartite graphs K 2 × K n . We first show that the connectedness of N (K Kn n+1 ) = 0. Further, we show that Hom(K 2 × K n , K m ) is homotopic to S m−2 , if 2 ≤ m < n.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
