Abstract:Given a convex n-gon P in R2 with vertices in general position, it is well known that the simplicial complex θ(P) with vertex set given by diagonals in P and facets given by triangulations of P is the boundary complex of a polytope of dimension n−3. We prove that for any non-convex polygonal region P with n vertices and h+1 boundary components, θ(P) is a ball of dimension n+3h−4. We also provide a new proof that θ(P) is a sphere when P is convex with vertices in general position.
Keywords:Non-convex polygon  Associahedra  Simplicial complex  Discrete Morse theory
