Name

packet (4-dimensional triangulation) — A 4-dimensional triangulation packet

Synopsis

Content Model 
packet ::= (pentachora,
            fundgroup?, H1?, H2?,
            tag*, packet*)
Attributes
See the general packet element documentation.

Description

This type of triangulation packet stores a 4-dimensional triangulation (typically of a 4-manifold).

The pentachora forming this triangulation and their corresponding facet gluings are specified by the child pentachora element. Other optional child elements may store precalculated properties of this triangulation.

The roles played by the child tag and packet elements are described in the general packet element documentation.

Note

Regina supports triangulations in many dimensions. See also the elements packet (2-dimensional triangulation), packet (3-dimensional triangulation), and packet (dim-dimensional triangulation).

Parents

Children
