Some Results on Vertex-Minimal Triangulations of Manifolds
… on vertex-minimal (simplicial) triangulations of manifolds. We are interested in triangulations that have nice geometric and combinatorial properties. In the first chapter, we list some defnitions used throughout the thesis. In the second chapter, we give an elementary construction of the Witt …

Deformations of Cayley submanifolds
Cayley submanifolds of R^8 were introduced by Harvey and Lawson as an instance of calibrated submanifolds, extending the volume-minimising properties of complex submanifolds in Kähler manifolds. More generally, Cayley submanifolds are 4-dimensional submanifolds which may be defined in an 8-manifold …
