Extract

The aim of this paper is to prove the following

Theorem A. Let K be an ordered, locally finite, simplicial complex, considered as a category, let L be a subcomplex, and let F : K → PL be a functor. Then

(i) the geometric realisation 〈F〉 of F has a natural PL structure in which 〈F|L〉 is a subpolyhedron, and, in particular,

(ii) 〈F〉 admits a triangulation by a locally finite simplicial complex in which 〈F|L〉 is triangulated as a subcomplex.
