Ciprian Manolescu (UCLA) Homology cobordism and triangulations August 3, 2018 2 / 20 PL triangulations are equivalent to PL structures on the manifold (up to isomorphism).

Triangulations of manifolds

A triangulation is called combinatorial (or PL) if the link of every vertex is (PL homeomorphic to) a sphere. Clearly, every space that admits a combinatorial triangulation is a manifold.
