The GrunbaumKalaiSarkaria conjecture

Let Δ\Delta be a simplicial complex of dimension dd. Assume that Δ\Delta admits a PL embedding into R2d\mathbb{R}^{2d}. GrunbaumKalaiSarkaria conjecture. Then

fd(Δ)(d+2)fd1(Δ).f_d(\Delta)\leq (d+2)f_{d-1}(\Delta).

This conjecture seeks sharp face-number bounds for complexes PL-embedded in the highest dimension where nontrivial obstructions to embedding occur. The source discusses it as an application of the weak Lefschetz property, but does not state a resolution here.
