Simplicial set — In mathematics, a simplicial set is a construction in categorical homotopy theory which is a purely algebraic model of the notion of a well behaved topological space. Historically, this model arose from earlier work in combinatorial topology and… … Wikipedia
Simplicial complex — In mathematics, a simplicial complex is a topological space of a particular kind, constructed by gluing together points, line segments, triangles, and their n dimensional counterparts (see illustration). Simplicial complexes should not be… … Wikipedia
Simplicial sphere — In geometry and combinatorics, a simplicial (or combinatorial) d sphere is a simplicial complex homeomorphic to the d dimensional sphere. Some simplicial spheres arise as the boundaries of convex polytopes, however, in higher dimensions most… … Wikipedia
Simplicial homology — In mathematics, in the area of algebraic topology, simplicial homology is a theory with a finitary definition, and is probably the most tangible variant of homology theory. Simplicial homology concerns topological spaces whose building blocks are … Wikipedia
