McMullen's -conjecture for homology spheres
McMullen's -conjecture for homology spheres
A homology sphere is a pure simplicial complex such that every face link has the homology of a sphere of the same dimension. Its -vector is the sequence derived from its -vector in the usual way, and an -sequence is the -vector of a multicomplex. McMullen's -conjecture. The -vector of every homology sphere is an -sequence. This is the well-known -conjecture for spheres, originally raised by McMullen for simplicial spheres; the source gives no resolution evidence, so its status is left open.
