Abstract:
Matveev and Piergallini independently showed that, with a small number of known exceptions, any triangulation of a three-manifold can be transformed into any other triangulation of the same three-manifold with the same number of vertices via a sequence of 2-3 and 3-2 moves. We can interpret this as showing that the Pachner graph of such triangulations is connected. In this paper, we extend this result to show that (again with a small number of known exceptions) the subgraph of the Pachner graph consisting of triangulations without degree one edges is also connected for single-vertex triangulations of closed manifolds and ideal triangulations of manifolds with non-spherical boundary components.References
