Simple homotopy conjecture for crosscut complexes of lattices

About 21 years old · traced to

Let L{\mathcal L} be a lattice and let CC be a crosscut of L{\mathcal L}. Write Γ(C,L)\Gamma(C,{\mathcal L}) for the crosscut complex, Bd⁡(Γ(C,L))\operatorname{Bd}(\Gamma(C,{\mathcal L})) for its barycentric subdivision, and Δ(Lˉ)\Delta(\bar{\mathcal L}) for the order complex of the proper part of L{\mathcal L}. Crosscut simple homotopy conjecture. The simplicial complexes Bd⁡(Γ(C,L))\operatorname{Bd}(\Gamma(C,{\mathcal L})) and Δ(Lˉ)\Delta(\bar{\mathcal L}) have the same simple homotopy type. This extends the weak form of the crosscut theorem from atom crosscuts to arbitrary crosscuts; the source presents it as a conjecture, and no resolution is supplied here.
