Subject: Possible toplist question? Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2004 10:40:28 -0400 (EDT) From: Jack Morava To: DON DAVIS Dear Don, I received the question below from a combinatorialist interested in topology. I don't know enough about the subject to know whether Toplist recipients would be helpful or interested; figured I'd pass it on to you and let you use your own judgement. All the best, Jack &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& From: Meshulam Roy ... do you perhaps know if topologists looked at the following question: Let t(X) denote the minimal number of vertices in a triangulation of a space X. Are there any general ways to estimate t(X) from below? A particularly interesting example might be X = real projective n-space...
