Minor monotonicity of embeddability in spheres
Let and be simplicial complexes, and write when is a minor of , obtained by admissible contractions and deletions. Let be a nonnegative integer. Minor monotonicity of embeddability. If and is embeddable in the -sphere, then is embeddable in the -sphere. This would make embeddability in a fixed-dimensional sphere minor-monotone; the source notes that it would imply the preceding obstruction-based corollary, but gives no resolution of the conjecture.
