It would be similar in the rest of borders. \end{proof} +We have then proved that $S_d$ is a strong deformation retract of $M_d$. We denote as $\Delta$ the 2-simplex $[v_0, v_1, v_2]$, then, we can identify $S_1$ with $\Delta$, and we get a diagram: + +\begin{equation*} + \begin{array}{ccccc} + \Delta & \longleftrightarrow & S_1 & & \\ + \uparrow& & \uparrow & & \\ + \Delta^d & \longleftrightarrow & S_d & \longrightarrow & M_d \\ + & & \downarrow & & \downarrow \\ + & & K & \longrightarrow & \PP^2\setminus C_d \\ + \end{array} +\end{equation*} +where $\Delta^d$ is a simplicial complex that we are trying to find and identify with $S_d$, equivalently as what we have for $d=1$. + +Let $\phi: S_d\longleftarrow S_1$ be the map given by $\phi(x,y,z)=(x^d, y^d, z^d)$, then necessarily $\phi^{-1}(\Delta)=\Delta^d$. +In particular, the $d^3$ vertices of the simplicial complex $\Delta^d$ will be identified to $(\xi_d,0,0)$, $(0,\xi_d,0)$, $(0,0,\xi_d)$ for all $\xi_d$ the $d$-$th$ roots of unity. + +The edges of $\Delta$ can be identified with the lines of $S_1$ parametrized as $(1-t,t,0)$, $(1-t,0,t)$ and $(0,t,1-t)$ with $t\in[0,1]$. Then, the preimages of these lines by $\phi$ are of the form $(\sqrt[d]{1-t}\xi_i, \sqrt[d]{t}\xi_j, 0)$ in the first case and analogous in the rest, where we denote $\sqrt[s]{x}$ the positive real $d$-root for $x$ real, and where $\xi_i$ and $\xi_j$ are two any $d$-$th$ roots of unity. For each of these preimages we can define an edge between the corresponding vertices in $\Delta^d$. + +The $2$-faces of the simplicial complex $\Delta^d$ will then be identified to the areas between the lines $(\sqrt[d]{1-t}\xi_i, \sqrt[d]{t}\xi_j, 0)$, $(\sqrt[d]{1-t}\xi_i,0, \sqrt[d]{t}\xi_k)$ and $(0,\sqrt[d]{t}\xi_j, \sqrt[d]{1-t}\xi_k)$. \end{document} \ No newline at end of file
