As an application, we prove that any Euler structure on a smooth oriented closed 3-manifold has a particular realization by a complete matching on the Hasse diagram of a triangulation of the manifold.20 pagesGeometric TopologyDiscrete MathematicsCombinatoricsCombinatorial realization of the Thom-Smale complex via discrete Morse theorytext
