Generalized skeletal expansion conjecture for colored regular graphs

About 20 years old · traced to

Let Γ\Gamma be a regular (n+1)(n+1)-valent graph with a “good” (Z2)n+1(\mathbb Z_2)^{n+1}-coloring α\alpha. A generalized (n+1)(n+1)-skeletal expansion is an expansion denoted (M,E)(M,\mathfrak E), where MM is the resulting space and E\mathfrak E records the generalized expansion data. Generalized skeletal expansion conjecture. The pair (Γ,α)(\Gamma,\alpha) always admits a generalized (n+1)(n+1)-skeletal expansion (M,E)(M,\mathfrak E) such that MM is a compact (n+1)(n+1)-manifold with boundary. Examples show that generalized expansions can exist even when ordinary skeletal expansions do not; the proposed conjecture asserts existence in every case, and no resolution is supplied here.
