Nonexistence conjecture for balanced neighborly homology spheres with 6k vertices

Let k2k\geq 2. A balanced kk-neighborly homology (2k1)(2k-1)-sphere is a balanced simplicial homology sphere of dimension 2k12k-1 in which every set of at most kk vertices with distinct colors is a face. Nonexistence conjecture. For an arbitrary k2k\geq 2, there does not exist a balanced kk-neighborly homology (2k1)(2k-1)-sphere with 6k6k vertices. This conjecture concerns the first non-trivial case in the proposed existence problem for balanced kk-neighborly homology (2k1)(2k-1)-spheres with equally sized color classes; its status is not resolved in the source.
