The wedge-of-spheres conjecture for path-free complexes of complete multipartite graphs
The wedge-of-spheres conjecture for path-free complexes of complete multipartite graphs
Let be a complete multipartite graph, and let . The path-free complex is the simplicial complex whose faces avoid paths of length in .
Wedge-of-spheres conjecture. The complex is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres.
The preceding cases establish this homotopy type for the values of treated in the paper, and the conjecture proposes the same conclusion for every . Determining the number and dimensions of the spheres in general remains open.
