Constructing Complicated Spheres
read the original abstract
Fast and efficient homology algorithms are in demand in the applied sciences for analyzing solid materials and proteins, processing digital imaging data, or pattern classification among others. Recent advances employ discrete Morse theory as a preprocessor. Research in this area has lead to the need to find complicated test examples. We present an infinite series of examples that have been constructed to test some of the latest algorithms under development. This family of 4-spheres (known as the Akbulut-Kirby spheres) is based on a handlebody construction via finitely presented groups.

Small Triangulations of $4$-Manifolds: Introducing the $4$-Manifold Census
A new framework classifies PL-types for every triangulated 4-manifold with up to six pentachora, succeeding except on the 4-sphere, CP^2 and QS^4(2) where at most four, three and two types appear respectively.
