Finite generation of the Eulerian flag-vector cone

About 27 years old · traced to

For each positive integer nn, consider the closed cone of flag ff-vectors of Eulerian posets of rank n+1n+1.

Finite-generation conjecture. For every positive integer nn, this closed cone is finitely generated.

The paper proves that doubled limit posets associated with even interval systems generate extreme rays, but notes that this is far from a complete description of the extreme rays. Finite generation would provide a finite extremal description of the Eulerian flag-vector cone in every rank.
