Babson–Billera–Chan cubical generalized lower bound conjecture

About 8 years old · traced to

Let dd be a positive integer. For a cubical dd-polytope QQ, let gc(Q)g^c(Q) be its cubical gg-vector, and let Cd\mathcal{C}_d be the minimal closed cone containing all such vectors. Let Ad\mathcal{A}_d denote the nonnegative orthant in R⌊d/2⌋\mathbb{R}^{\lfloor d/2\rfloor}. Babson–Billera–Chan's cubical generalized lower bound conjecture.

Ad=Cd.\mathcal{A}_d=\mathcal{C}_d.

The paper proves the inclusion Ad⊆Cd\mathcal{A}_d\subseteq\mathcal{C}_d, so the conjecture is equivalent to the reverse inclusion. It concerns the possible ff-vectors of cubical polytopes and, in particular, would imply nonnegativity of every coordinate of the cubical gg-vector.
