We introduce a notion of cross-flips: local moves that transform a balanced (i.e., properly (d+1)(d+1)-colored) triangulation of a combinatorial dd-manifold into another balanced triangulation. These moves form a natural analog of bistellar flips (also known as Pachner moves). Specifically, we establish the following the…
