Five-ball construction conjecture for hh-vectors

A five-ball is a triangulated ball of dimension five, with hh-vector written as h=(1,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,0)h=(1,h_1,h_2,h_3,h_4,h_5,0). Theorem's construction gives a collection of hh-vectors described by its stated conditions. Five-ball construction conjecture. The vector hh is the hh-vector of a five-ball if and only if there exists an integer m>0m>0 such that

h=(1,h1m,h2,h3,h4,h5,0)h=(1,h_1-m,h_2,h_3,h_4,h_5,0)

satisfies the conditions of the construction theorem. This is presented as an open conjecture; determining a conjectural description of the hh-vectors of higher-dimensional balls remains an open problem.
