Finite flag subcomplex vanishing conjecture

Let LL be a finite flag complex, let ΣL\Sigma_L be its associated contractible cubical complex, and suppose that LL embeds as a full subcomplex of a flag triangulation of the 2k2k-sphere.

Finite flag subcomplex vanishing conjecture.

Hi(ΣL)=0for all i>k.{\operatorname{\mathcal H}}_i(\Sigma_L)=0\quad\text{for all }i>k.

The paper states that this is equivalent to the right-angled Coxeter specialization of Singer's conjecture. It is established only in the ranges obtained from the paper's low-dimensional results, so the general assertion remains open.
