More explicitly, for each $d\\geq 2$, we construct two $(d^2+5d+5)$-vertex neighborly triangulated $d$-manifolds whose vertex-links are stacked spheres. The only other non-trivial series of such tight triangulated manifolds currently known is the series of non-simply connected triangulated $d$-manifolds with $2d+3$ vertices constructed by K\\\"{u}hnel. The manifolds we construct are strongly minimal. For $d\\geq 3$, they are also tight neighborly as defined by Lutz, Sulanke and Swartz. Like K\\\"{u}hnel's complexes, our manifolds are orientable in even dimensions and non-orientable in odd dimensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-06-14T10:41:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57Q15", "57R05" ], "keywords": [ "infinite family", "explicit construction", "vertex-transitive tight triangulations", "odd dimensions", "non-trivial series" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1210.1045D" } } }
