Abstract: In 1984, Dancis proved that any $d$-dimensional simplicial manifold is determined by its $(lfloord/2floor+1)$-skeleton. This paper adapts his proof to the setting of cubical complexes that can be embedded into a cube of arbitrary dimension. Under some additional conditions (for example, if the cubical manifold is a sphere), the result can be tightened to the $lceild/2ceil$-skeleton when $dgeq3$.

Review text

It is known that: \begin{itemize} \item the combinatorics of a simple convex polytope can be recovered by its \(1\)-skeleton; \item a \(d\)-dimensional simplicial manifold can be recovered by its \((\lfloor \frac{d}{2}\rfloor +1)\)-skeleton. \end{itemize} It is proven in the paper that any \(d\)-dimensional cubical homology manifold embeddable in a cube can be reconstructed from its \((\lfloor \frac{d}{2}\rfloor +1)\)-skeleton. Under some additional conditions the result can be tightened to the \(\lceil \frac{d}{2}\rceil\)-skeleton.
