Neighborly vertex-transitive triangulations of balanced sphere products
Let be the dimension of a triangulation, and let be the corresponding product of spheres. A centrally -neighborly triangulation is a centrally symmetric triangulation containing the prescribed crosspolytope skeleton, and a vertex-transitive dihedral group action is a dihedral group action transitive on the vertices.
Neighborly sphere-product conjecture. There is a centrally -neighborly combinatorial triangulation of every product with a vertex-transitive dihedral group action on vertices.
The source proves existence for a listed finite collection of sphere products, including the balanced products in dimensions represented by the table, but does not establish the assertion for every . Thus the general statement remains open.
