We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
We construct a family of PL triangulations of the $d$-dimensional real projective space $\mathbb{R}P^d$ for every $d\geq 1$ on $\Theta((\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})^{d+1})$ vertices. This improves a construction due to K\"{u}hnel on $2^{d+1}-1$ vertices.
