Dual connectivity of completed surface triangulations #
A completed finite triangulation of a connected surface has connected dual graph. The proof does not require a separate cyclic-link theorem. If the faces split into two dual components, their closed carriers can meet only at triangulation vertices. Deleting that finite vertex locus would therefore disconnect the surface, contradicting finite-puncture connectivity.
Membership of a raw face in the dual component generated by root.
