Note on a Theorem of Munkres

We prove that given a ${\mathcal{C}}^{\mathcal{\infty }}$ Riemannian manifold with boundary, any fat triangulation of the boundary can be extended to the whole manifold. We also show that this result holds extends to ${\mathcal{C}}^1$ manifolds, and that in dimensions $2,3$ and 4 it also holds for $PL$ manifolds. We employ the main result to prove that given any orientable ${\mathcal{C}}^{\mathcal{\infty }}$ Riemannian manifold with boundary admits quasimeromorphic mappings onto $\widehat{{\mathbb{R}}^n}$. In addition some generalizations are given.
