The generalized cluster complex shellability conjecture

Let Φ\Phi be a finite crystallographic root system of rank nn, and let mm be a positive integer. The generalized cluster complex Δm(Φ)\Delta^m(\Phi) is the simplicial complex associated with Φ\Phi and mm. Shellability conjecture. The complex Δm(Φ)\Delta^m(\Phi) is shellable, hence Cohen–Macaulay, and homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres. This was suggested by discussions with Hugh Thomas in December 2004. It has been proved by E. Tzanaki in types AnA_n and BnB_n, while the statement remains open in the other types covered by the paper.
