Polytope-complex conjecture for boundaries of hyperbolic posets

Let FF be a real-rooted polynomial, let Ls(F)\mathcal{L}_s(F) be the lattice associated with its hyperbolic slice, and let LsΔ(F)\mathcal{L}^\Delta_s(F) denote its dual; write (LsΔ(F))\partial(\mathcal{L}^\Delta_s(F)) for the boundary complex of this dual. Polytope-complex conjecture. The boundary complex (LsΔ(F))\partial(\mathcal{L}^\Delta_s(F)) is a polytope complex and hence is a combinatorial sphere. This is a weaker conjecture than the general polytopality conjecture; the paper notes that the claim is not known in general, while it holds in the generic setting through the established combinatorial-sphere results.
