Abstract:In this paper we develop some combinatorial models for continuous spaces. We study the approximations of continuous spaces by graphs, molecular spaces, and coordinate matrices. We define the dimension on a discrete space by means of axioms based on an obvious geometrical background. This work presents some discrete models ofn-dimensional Euclidean spaces,n-dimensional spheres, a torus, and a projective plane. It explains how to construct new discrete spaces and describes in this connection several three-dimensional closed surfaces with some topological singularities. It also analyzes the topology of (3+1)-space-time. We are also discussing the question by R. Sorkin about how to derive the system of simplicial complexes from a system of open coverings of a topological space.
