We have shown that the number of facets of any contracted pseudotriangulation of a connected closed 3-manifold $M$ is at least the weight of $\\pi(M, \\ast)$. This lower bound is sharp for the 3-manifolds $\\mathbb{R P}^3$, $L(3,1)$, $L(5,2)$, $S^1\\times S^1 \\times S^1$, $S^2 \\times S^1$, $S^2 \\mbox{$\\times \\hspace{-2.8mm}_{-}$} S^1$ and $S^3/Q_8$, where $Q_8$ is the quaternion group. Moreover, there is a unique such facet minimal pseudotriangulation in each of these sev"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1308.6137","kind":"arxiv","version":3},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
