The PL sphere-or-ball conjecture for intervals with the NOF property
Let be a Coxeter group with automorphism having the NOF property, and let be the associated poset. For an interval , call it full when it has the property specified in the paper, and let denote its proper part. Let be the rank function.
PL sphere-or-ball conjecture. If is full, then is a PL sphere of dimension . Otherwise, is a PL ball of the same dimension.
The claim would follow if the relevant -acyclic complexes in the preceding theorem could be shown to be collapsible; the supplied context does not state that this has been achieved.
