Kalai–Sarkaria conjecture on algebraic shifting and embeddability
Kalai–Sarkaria conjecture on algebraic shifting and embeddability
Let be a simplicial complex on vertices. For a shifted complex associated with , let denote the pure -dimensional simplicial complex defined by the maximal simplices satisfying the stated cyclic-polytope condition.
Kalai–Sarkaria conjecture. If admits an embedding into , then
The type of algebraic shifting is not specified in the cited formulation. Since shifting preserves -vectors, this containment would imply upper bounds for the face numbers of complexes embeddable in spheres and Euclidean spaces.
