Description

The focus of this work is the study of global properties of various kinds of colorings and maps of simplicial complexes. In addition to the usual sorts of coloring, the author studies colorings determined by groups, colorings based on regular polyhedra, and continuous colorings in finitely and infinitely many colors. The emphasis is on how all the colorings fit together, rather than on the existence of colorings or the number of colorings. Beginning with some fundamental properties of simplicial complexes and colorings, the author shows how colorings relate to various aspects of group theory, geometry, graph theory, and topology.
