Finiteness conjecture for highly connected minimal non-embeddable cell complexes

For an integer nn, consider nn-dimensional cell complexes KK whose underlying spaces are (n1)(n-1)-connected and do not embed in S2nS^{2n}. An hh-minor is a cell complex obtained by the hh-minor operation defined in the source. The finiteness conjecture for minimal non-embeddable cell complexes. For each nn, there exist only finitely many such cell complexes KK for which the underlying space of every proper hh-minor LL embeds in S2nS^{2n}.

This predicts a finite obstruction set for embeddings of highly connected nn-dimensional cell complexes in S2nS^{2n}. The supplied text gives no evidence of a resolution.
