GENERAL FLIPS AND THE CD-INDEX

GENERAL FLIPS AND THE CD-INDEX

We generalize bistellar operations (often called flips) on simplicial manifolds to a notion of general flips on PL-spheres. We provide methods for computing the cd-index of these general flips, which is the change in the cd-index of any sphere to which the flip is applied. We provide formulas and re...
