Integral face-edge duality for knot triangulations

For an ordered ideal triangulation of a knot exterior in $S^3$, we give a cochain construction relating its face matrix $C$ to its preferred-longitude gluing matrices $A,B$. The obstruction to uniqueness is the first cohomology of the ideal compactification. Its vanishing yields nullity doubling and the FAMED matrix id...
