Abstract
We develop exact polynomial sequences on Alfeld splits in any spatial dimension and for any polynomial degree. An Alfeld split of a tetrahedron is obtained by connecting the vertices of an n-simplex with its barycenter. We show that, on these triangulations, the kernel of the exterior derivative has enhanced smoothness. Byproducts of this theory include characterizations of discrete divergence-free subspaces for the Stokes problem, commutative projections, and simple formulas for the dimensions of smooth polynomial spaces. This is joint work with Guosheng Fu and Johnny Guzmán.
