โฆ Synopsis
By techniques of maps on surfaces and coloured maps representing manifolds we describe a family of pseudocomplexes K(m, n) which satisfy the following property: To every closed, orientable, P.L., (m -1)-manifold (m >1 3), M, there is associated an even inteoer I(M), such that for each even n >1 I(M), M is the quotient of K(m, n) by the action of a finite index subgroup, N, of a crystallographic group with signature (0; [n/2,.~..,n/2]). Other related results are also established.

It is well-known that every closed orientable 3-manifold M 3 is the 3-fold simple covering M3(K,o)) of S 3 branched over a knot K: hence, M 3 may be visualized by the associated coloured knot (K, co). On the other hand, PL-manifolds of arbitrary dimension may be represented by coloured graphs, via p
