Stress-algebra dimension formula for homology manifolds

Let (Δ,ν)(\Delta,\nu) be a PL realization of an orientable simplicial R\mathbb{R}-homology dd-manifold without boundary in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, and let Ψ(Δ,ν)\Psi(\Delta,\nu) be its stress algebra. Stress-algebra dimension conjecture. If the vertices are realized in general position, then

dimR(Ψd+1i(Δ,ν))=hi(Δ)for all 0id+1.\dim_{\mathbb{R}}\bigl(\Psi_{d+1-i}(\Delta,\nu)\bigr)=h^{\prime\prime}_i(\Delta)\quad\text{for all }0\leq i\leq d+1.

This is proposed alongside the weak Lefschetz conjecture as an ingredient toward Kalai's manifold gg-conjecture for a broad class of orientable R\mathbb{R}-homology manifolds.
