Compact 4-manifolds admitting special handle decompositions
Maria Rita Casali, Paola Cristofori
In this paper we study colored triangulations of compact PL 4-manifolds with empty or connected boundary which induce handle decompositions lacking in 1-handles or in 1- and 3-hand…
Crystallizations of compact 4-manifolds minimizing combinatorially defined PL-invariants
Maria Rita Casali, Paola Cristofori, Carlo Gagliardi
The present paper is devoted to present a unifying survey about some special classes of crystallizations of compact PL -manifolds with empty or connected boundary, called {\it s…
G-degree for singular manifolds
Maria Rita Casali, Paola Cristofori, Luigi Grasselli
The G-degree of colored graphs is a key concept in the approach to Quantum Gravity via tensor models. The present paper studies the properties of the G-degree for the large class o…
