Constructing solution of Polygon and Simplex equation (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The Polygon equation, formulated by Dimakis and Müller-Hoissen, can be interpreted as an algebraic equation corresponding to the Pachner (⌊(n+1)/2⌋+1, ⌈(n+1)/2⌉)-move on triangulations of n-dimensional PL manifolds, and is expected that this can be used to construct invariants of PL manifolds. In this talk, we show that solutions of higher-dimensional Polygon equations can be constructed from collections of "commutative" solutions of lower-dimensional Polygon equations, and we present explicit examples of such solutions. Furthermore, when a pair of solutions of the Polygon equation satisfies a condition called the mixed relation, we show that it gives rise to a solution of the Simplex equation, which is a higher-dimensional analogue of the Yang–Baxter equation. This talk is based on joint work with Tomoro Mochida.
