Abstract

A formal deformation of one polyhedron to another is a finite sequence of expansions and collapses, beginning with one polyhedron and ending with the other. If a formal deformation exists between two 2-dimensional polyhedra, it is possible to choose a deformation through polyhedra of dimension at most four. It is desired to reduce this number to three. We give a partial result in that direction.
