Represents a pentachoron (a 4-dimensional simplex) within a 4-manifold triangulation.
This class is typically referred to by the aliases Simplex<4> or Pentachoron<4> (or, for Python users, Simplex4
and Pentachoron4
).
The class template Face<dim, dim> specialises the generic Face class template in order to work with top-dimensional simplices in a triangulation. This class Face<4, 4> specialises it further to add dimension-specific aliases for dimension 4.
See the documentation for the partial specialisation Face<dim, dim> for an overview of how a top-dimensional simplex class works.
Pentachora do not support value semantics: they cannot be copied, swapped, or manually constructed. Their location in memory defines them, and they are often passed and compared by pointer. End users are never responsible for their memory management; this is all taken care of by the Triangulation to which they belong.
Examines the given subdim-face of this simplex, and returns the mapping between the underlying subdim-face of the triangulation and the individual vertices of this simplex.
Specifically:
- Suppose several subdim-faces of several top-dimensional simplices are identified within the overall triangulation. Then we call this a single "<i>subdim</i>-face of the triangulation", and arbitrarily label its vertices (0, ..., subdim).
- Now let F denote the subdim-face of the triangulation that corresponds to subdim-face number face of this simplex. Then this routine returns a map from vertices (0, ..., subdim) of F to the corresponding vertex numbers of this simplex.
- In particular, if this routine returns the permutation p, then the images p[0,...,subdim] will be some permutation of the vertices Face<dim, subdim>::ordering[0,...,subdim].
- If F also appears as face number k in some other simplex s, then for each i in the range 0 ≤ i ≤ subdim, vertex
p[i]
of this simplex will be identified with vertex s.faceMapping(k)[i] of simplex s.
If the link of the underlying subdim-face is orientable, then this permutation maps the remaining numbers (subdim+1, ..., dim) to the remaining vertex numbers of this simplex in a manner that preserves orientation as you walk through the many different simplices that contain the same underlying subdim-face. Specifically:
- The images of (subdim+1, ..., dim) under this permutation imply an orientation for the (dim - subdim - 1)-face opposite F in this simplex. These orientations will be consistent for all simplices containing F.
- For faces of codimension two (e.g., edges in a 3-manifold triangulation), this orientation condition is even stronger. Here the link of the face F must be a path (for a boundary face) or a cycle (for an internal face). In each simplex we can form a directed edge from the image of dim-1 to the image of dim under this permutation, and together these directed edges form a directed path or cycle that follows the link of the face F. Moreover, an iteration through the corresponding FaceEmbedding<dim, subdim> objects in order from
F.begin()
to F.end()
, will follow this directed path in order from start to end. (In the case where the link of F is a cycle, the start point in the list of FaceEmbedding objects will be arbitrary.)
Note that, even if the link is orientable, there are still arbitrary decisions to be made for the images of (subdim+1, ..., dim), since there will always be (dim-subdim)!/2 possible mappings that yield the correct orientation.
If this simplex (and therefore the face F) belongs to an orientable component of the triangulation, then there will also be connections between faceMapping() and the orientations of the top-dimensional simplices (as returned by orientation()):
- If subdim is less than (dim - 1), then the sign of the permutation returned by faceMapping() will always be equal to the orientation of this simplex.
- If subdim is equal to (dim - 1), then the face F can only belong to either one or two top-dimensional simplices; let s0 and s1 be the simplices corresponding to
F.embedding(0)
and (if it exists) F.embedding(1)
respectively. Then in the simplex s0, the sign of the faceMapping() permutation will match the orientation of s0, and in s1 (if it exists), the sign of the faceMapping() permutation will be negative the orientation of s1.
- Note
- This routine returns the same permutation as FaceEmbedding<dim, subdim>::vertices(), in the context of the FaceEmbedding<dim, subdim> object that refers to subdim-face number face of this simplex.
- Python
- Python does not support templates. Instead, Python users should call this function in the form
faceMapping(subdim, face)
; that is, the template parameter subdim becomes the first argument of the function.
- Parameters
-
face | the subdim-face of this simplex to examine. This should be between 0 and (dim+1 choose subdim+1)-1 inclusive. |
- Returns
- a mapping from the vertices of the underlying subdim-face of the triangulation to the vertices of this simplex.
Determines whether the given facet of this simplex belongs to the maximal forest that has been chosen for the dual 1-skeleton of the underlying triangulation.
When the skeletal structure of a triangulation is first computed, a maximal forest in the dual 1-skeleton of the triangulation is also constructed. Each dual edge in this maximal forest represents a (dim-1)-face of the (primal) triangulation.
This maximal forest will remain fixed until the triangulation changes, at which point it will be recomputed (as will all other skeletal objects, such as connected components and so on). There is no guarantee that, when it is recomputed, the maximal forest will use the same dual edges as before.
This routine identifies which (dim-1)-faces of the triangulation belong to the dual forest. Because it lives in the Simplex class, this routine can even be used for those dimensions that do not have explicit classes for (dim-1)-faces of the triangulation.
If the skeleton has already been computed, then this routine is very fast (since it just returns a precomputed answer).
- Parameters
-
facet | the facet of this simplex that we are examining. This must be between 0 and dim inclusive. |
- Returns
true
if and only if the given facet of this simplex corresponds to a dual edge in the maximal forest chosen for the dual 1-skeleton.
Unglues this simplex from any adjacent simplices.
As a result, every facet of this simplex will become a boundary facet, and this simplex will form its own separate component of the underlying triangulation.
If there were any adjacent simplices to begin with, these will be updated automatically.
This routine is safe to call even if there are no adjacent simplices (in which case it will do nothing).

Returns a short text representation of this object.
This text should be human-readable, should use plain ASCII characters where possible, and should not contain any newlines.
Within these limits, this short text ouptut should be as information-rich as possible, since in most cases this forms the basis for the Python str()
and repr()
functions.
- Python
- The Python "stringification" function
str()
will use precisely this function, and for most classes the Python repr()
function will incorporate this into its output.
- Returns
- a short text representation of this object.
Unglues the given facet of this simplex from whatever it is joined to.
As a result, the given facet of this simplex will become a boundary facet.
If there was an adjacent simplex to begin with, then this other simplex will be updated automatically (i.e., you only need to call unjoin() from one side of the gluing).
This routine is safe to call even if the given facet is already a boundary facet (in which case it will do nothing).
- Parameters
-
myFacet | the facet of this simplex whose gluing we will undo. This should be between 0 and dim inclusive. |
- Returns
- the simplex that was originally glued to the given facet of this simplex, or
null
if this was already a boundary facet.
std::string regina::Output< SimplexBase< dim > , false >::utf8 |

Returns a short text representation of this object using unicode characters.
Like str(), this text should be human-readable, should not contain any newlines, and (within these constraints) should be as information-rich as is reasonable.
Unlike str(), this function may use unicode characters to make the output more pleasant to read. The string that is returned will be encoded in UTF-8.
- Returns
- a short text representation of this object.
