The manifold gg''-conjecture for balanced homology manifolds

Let Δ\Delta be a balanced, orientable k\mathbf{k}-homology manifold without boundary. Define gj(Δ)=hj(Δ)hj1(Δ)g”_j(\Delta)=h”_j(\Delta)-h”_{j-1}(\Delta). Balanced manifold gg”-conjecture. The vector

(gj(Δ))j=0d/2(g”_j(\Delta))_{j=0}^{\lfloor d/2\rfloor}

is the ff-vector of a simplicial complex. The conjecture is known for barycentric subdivisions of homology manifolds, but remains open in general.
