Abstract :
Due to the unrecognizability of certain manifolds there must exist pairs of triangulations of these manifolds that can only be reached from each other by going through an intermediate state that is very large. This might reduce the reliability of dynamical triangulation, because there will be states that will not be reached in practice. We investigate this problem numerically for the manifold S5, which is known to be unrecognizable, but see no sign of these unreachable states.
