3-manifold spines and bijoins.

Luigi Grasselli (1990)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

We describe a combinatorial algorithm for constructing all orientable 3-manifolds with a given standard bidimensional spine by making use of the idea of bijoin (Bandieri and Gagliardi (1982), Graselli (1985)) over a suitable pseudosimplicial triangulation of the spine.

Dotted links, Heegaard diagrams, and colored graphs for PL 4-manifolds.

Maria Rita Casali (2004)

Revista Matemática Complutense

Similarity:

The present paper is devoted to establish a connection between the 4-manifold representation method by dotted framed links (or -in the closed case- by Heegaard diagrams) and the so called crystallization theory, which visualizes general PL-manifolds by means of edge-colored graphs. In particular, it is possible to obtain a crystallization of a closed 4-manifold M4 starting from a Heegaard diagram (#m(S1 x S2...

Coverings of S branched over iterated torus links.

Carmen Safont (1990)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

Coverings of S branched over iterated torus links appear naturally and very often in Algebraic Geometry. The natural graph-manifold structure of the exterior of an iterated torus link induces a graph-structure in the branched covers. In this paper we give an algorithm to compute valued graphs representing a branched cover given the monodromy representation associated to the covering. The algorithm is completely mechanized in order to be programmed, and can also be used for finding representation...
