Tolerance complexes preserve Lerayness

Let KK be a dd-Leray simplicial complex, and let t0t\geq 0. Define the tt-tolerance complex of KK by

Tt(K)={ητ:ηK, τV, τt}.\mathcal{T}_{t}(K)=\{\eta\cup\tau:\eta\in K,\ \tau\subset V,\ |\tau|\leq t\}.

Tolerance-Leray conjecture. Then Tt(K)\mathcal{T}_{t}(K) is (η(d+1,t+1)1)(\eta(d+1,t+1)-1)-Leray.

This would strengthen the known tolerant Helly theorem by replacing the Helly-number hypothesis with the stronger Leray-number hypothesis. The source presents it as a conjecture; its resolution is not specified here.
