The spherical skeleton conjecture

About 10 years old · traced to

Let R\mathscr{R} be a complete spherical skeleton, and let P⊆GP\subseteq G be the parabolic subgroup stabilizing the open BB-orbit; the quantity dim⁡G/P\dim G/P depends only on R\mathscr{R}. Spherical skeleton conjecture. We have

℘(R)≤dim⁡G/P,\wp(\mathscr{R})\leq\dim G/P,

where equality holds if and only if R\mathscr{R} is linear, meaning that R≅RV\mathscr{R}\cong\mathscr{R}_V for some multiplicity-free space VV. This is the general conjecture on spherical skeletons, with the supplied source giving no resolution status.
