The pachner graph and the simplification of 3-sphere triangulations

The pachner graph and the simplification of 3-sphere triangulations

It is important to have fast and effective methods for simplifying 3-manifold triangulations without losing any topological information. In theory this is difficult: we might need to make a triangulation super-exponentially more complex before we can make it smaller than its original size. Here we present experimental work suggesting that …
