摘要

We give explicit construction of vertex-transitive tight triangulations of d-manifolds for d %26gt;= 2. More explicitly, for each d %26gt;= 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 Kuhnel. The manifolds we construct are strongly minimal. For d %26gt;= 3, they are also tight neighborly as defined by Lutz, Sulanke and Swartz. Like Kuhnel complexes, our manifolds are orientable in even dimensions and non-orientable in odd dimensions.
