We extend results of Pachner and Casali to give finite sets of moves relating triangulations of PL manifolds respecting filtrations by locally flat manifolds and stratifications in which a finite family of simple local models exists for neighborhoods of strata.

We describe an algorithm to subdivide automatically a given set of PL n-manifolds (via coloured triangulations or, equivalently, via crystallizations) into classes whose elements are PL-homeomorphic. The algorithm, implemented in the case n=4, succeeds to solve completely the PL-homeomorphism problem among the catalogu…

The purpose of this note is to scrutinize the proof of Burago and Zalgaller regarding the existence of PLPL isometric embeddings of PLPL compact surfaces into R3\mathbb{R}^3. We conclude that their proof does not admit a direct extension to higher dimensions. Moreover, we show that, in general, PLPL manifolds of dimens…

After surveying classical notions of PL topology of the Seventies, we clarify the relation between Morse theory and its discretization by Forman. We show that PL handles theory and discrete Morse theory are equivalent, in the sense that every discrete Morse vector on some PL triangulation is also a PL handle vector, an…

For d2d\geq 2, the regular genus of a closed connected PL dd-manifold MM is the least genus (resp., half of the genus) of an orientable (resp., a non-orientable) surface into which a crystallization of MM imbeds regularly. The regular genus of every orientable surface equals its genus, and the regular genus of every…

We analyze the topology and geometry of a polyhedron of dimension 2 according to the minimum size of a cover by PL collapsible polyhedra. We provide partial characterizations of the polyhedra of dimension 2 that can be decomposed as the union of two PL collapsible subpolyhedra in terms of their simple homotopy type and…

Minimal crystallizations of simply connected PL 4-manifolds are very natural objects. Many of their topological features are reflected in their combinatorial structure which, in addition, is preserved under the connected sum operation. We present a minimal crystallization of the standard PL K3 surface. In combination w…

Preference learning (PL) is a core area of machine learning that handles datasets with ordinal relations. As the number of generated data of ordinal nature is increasing, the importance and role of the PL field becomes central within machine learning research and practice. This paper introduces an open source, scalable…

A classical result by Pachner states that two dd-dimensional combinatorial manifolds with boundary are PL homeomorphic if and only they can be connected by a sequence of shellings and inverse shellings. We prove that for balanced, i.e., properly (d+1)(d + 1)-colored, manifolds such a sequence can be chosen such that bala…

By considering a (not necessarily locally-flat) PL knot as the singular locus of a PL stratified pseudomanifold, we can use intersection homology theory to define intersection Alexander polynomials, a generalization of the classical Alexander polynomial invariants for smooth or PL locally-flat knots. We show that the i…

There are 2^n possible resolutions of a smooth pseudodiagram with n precrossings. If we consider piecewise-linear (PL) pseudodiagrams and resolutions that themselves are PL, certain resolutions of the pseudodiagram may not exist in three-space. We investigate this situation and its impact on the weighted resolution set…

Stochastic gradient methods are dominant in nonconvex optimization especially for deep models but have low asymptotical convergence due to the fixed smoothness. To address this problem, we propose a simple yet effective method for improving stochastic gradient methods named predictive local smoothness (PLS). First, we …

The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it provides a review of the links between random tensor models, seen as quantum gravity theories, and the PL-manifolds representation by means of edge-colored graphs (crystallization theory). On the other hand, the core of the paper is to establish results about the to…

Arguments on PL,(=piecewise linear) topology work over any ordered field in the same way as over the real field, and those on differential topology do over a real closed field R in an o-minimal structure that expands (R,<,0,1,+,cdot).
