Jonsson's polytopality conjecture for multiassociahedra

From papers

Let nn and kk satisfy n2k+1n\geq 2k+1, and let Assk(n)\overline{\mathcal{A}\hskip-0pt\mathit{ss}}_{k}(n) be the reduced multiassociahedron, whose facets are reduced kk-triangulations.

Jonsson's polytopality conjecture. For every n2k+1n\geq 2k+1, the complex Assk(n)\overline{\mathcal{A}\hskip-0pt\mathit{ss}}_{k}(n) is a polytopal sphere: there is a simplicial polytope of dimension k(n2k1)1k(n-2k-1)-1 with (n2)kn\binom{n}2-kn vertices whose lattice of proper faces is isomorphic to Assk(n)\overline{\mathcal{A}\hskip-0pt\mathit{ss}}_{k}(n).

Jonsson proved that the reduced multiassociahedron is a shellable sphere; the conjecture asks for a realization as the boundary complex of a simplicial polytope.
