A Note on the Tangent Bundle and Gauss Functor of Posets and Manifolds
Article
First Online:
We introduce a notion of the tangent bundle of a poset. In the case where the poset is the poset of simplices of a combinatorial manifold, the construction produces the best possible combinatorial model for the geometric compactified tangent bundle.
