Abstract

It is known that the (Formula presented.) -sphere has at most (Formula presented.) combinatorially distinct triangulations with n vertices, for every (Formula presented.). Here we construct at least (Formula presented.) such triangulations, improving on the previous constructions which gave (Formula presented.) in the general case (Kalai) and (Formula presented.) for (Formula presented.) (Pfeifle–Ziegler). We also construct (Formula presented.) geodesic (a.k.a. star-convex) n-vertex triangulations of the (Formula presented.) -sphere. As a step for this (in the case (Formula presented.)) we construct n-vertex 4-polytopes containing (Formula presented.) facets that are not simplices, or with (Formula presented.) edges of degree three.
