Small covers were introduced by Davis and Januszkiewicz in 1991. We introduce the notion of equilibrium triangulations for small covers. We study equilibrium and vertex minimal ℤ22-equivariant triangulations of 2-dimensional small covers. We discuss vertex minimal equilibrium triangulations of ℝℙ3#ℝℙ3, S1×ℝℙ2 and a nontrivial S1 bundle over ℝℙ2. We construct some nice equilibrium triangulations of the real projective space ℝℙn with 2n+n+1 vertices. The main tool is the theory of small covers.

Abstract


Small covers were introduced by Davis and Januszkiewicz in 1991. We introduce the notion of equilibrium triangulations for small covers. We study equilibrium and vertex minimal ℤ22-equivariant triangulations of 2-dimensional small covers. We discuss vertex minimal equilibrium triangulations of ℝℙ3#ℝℙ3, S1×ℝℙ2 and a nontrivial S1 bundle over ℝℙ2. We construct some nice equilibrium triangulations of the real projective space ℝℙn with 2n+n+1 vertices. The main tool is the theory of small covers.
