Kühnel and Lutz's tightness conjecture on strong minimality
Kühnel and Lutz's tightness conjecture on strong minimality
Let be a simplicial complex. Call -tight when it has the tightness property over a field , and call it strongly minimal when it achieves the componentwise smallest face vector among all triangulations of its geometric carrier . Kühnel and Lutz's tightness conjecture. Every -tight simplicial complex is strongly minimal. If true, this would strengthen ordinary minimality by asserting that tight triangulations minimize every face-number component among triangulations of the same carrier; the source presents it as an open conjecture.
