We introduce a notion of cross-flips: local moves that transform a balanced (i.e., properly (d+1)-colored) triangulation of a combinatorial d-manifold into another balanced triangulation. These moves form a natural analog of bistellar flips (also known as Pachner moves). Specifically, we establish the following theorem: any two balanced triangulations of a closed combinatorial d-manifold can be connected by a sequence of cross-flips. Along the way we prove that for every m≥d+2 and any closed combinatorial d-manifold M, two m-colored triangulations of M can be connected by a sequence of bistellar flips that preserve the vertex colorings.
