Binary geometry existence conjecture for polygon face complexes

About 2 years old · traced to

Let Δ\Delta be the face complex of an nn-gon. A binary geometry for Δ\Delta is a binary geometry whose underlying flag complex is Δ\Delta. Binary geometry existence conjecture. Such a binary geometry exists if and only if

n∈{4,5,6,8}.n\in\{4,5,6,8\}.

This conjecture classifies the polygonal face complexes admitting binary geometries; the supplied text gives examples for the square, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon but does not state whether the classification is resolved.
