Kalai's Abstract Polynomial Hirsch Conjecture
Kalai's Abstract Polynomial Hirsch Conjecture
Let be the collection of graphs whose vertices are labeled by -subsets of an -element set, with the property that for vertices labeled by and , there is a path between them all of whose vertex labels contain . Kalai's Abstract Polynomial Hirsch Conjecture (APHC). If is connected, then the diameter of is bounded above by a polynomial in and . This conjecture abstracts the Hirsch bound for polytope graphs and motivates an algebraic formulation through linear presentations of square-free monomial ideals; its resolution status is not specified in the source.
