Summary: Given a manifold with corners \(X\), we associate to it the corner structure simplicial complex \(\Sigma_X\). Its reduced K-homology is isomorphic to the K-theory of the \(C^*\)-algebra \(\mathcal{K}_b (X)\) of b-compact operators on \(X\). Moreover, the homology of \(\Sigma_X\) is isomorphic to the conormal homology of \(X\). In this note, we construct for an arbitrary abstract finite simplicial complex \(\Sigma\) a manifold with corners \(X\) such that \(\Sigma_X \cong\Sigma\). As a consequence, the homology and K-homology which occur for finite simplicial complexes also occur as conormal homology of manifolds with corners and as K-theory of their b-compact operators. In particular, these groups can contain torsion.
