Abstract:
In this talk, I will introduce a type of discrete Laplacians on n-dimensional PL-manifolds.

For dimension 2, a particular discrete curvature flow driven by discrete Laplace operator can be well defined, and there are some convergence results for this flow.

For dimension >=3, some interesting conjectures come naturally. If there are affirmative answers, the flow can be generalized to higher dimensions.
