(Injective) facet-complexity between simplicial complexes
We present the notion of facet-complexity, $\text{C}(\mathsf{L};\mathsf{K})$, for two simplicial complexes $\mathsf{L}$ and $\mathsf{K}$, along with basic results for this numerical invariant. This invariant $\text{C}(\mathsf{L};\mathsf{K})$ quantifies the \aspas{complexity} of the following question: When does there exist a facet simplicial map $\mathsf{L}\to \mathsf{K}$? A facet simplicial map is a simplicial map that preserves non-unitary facets. Likewise, we introduce the notion of injectiv…
