Abstract

We propose a combinatorial approach to the following strengthening of Gal's conjecture: γ(Δ)≥γ(E) coefficientwise, where Δ is a flag homology sphere and E⊆Δ an induced homology sphere of codimension 1. We provide partial evidence in favor of this approach, and prove a nontrivial nonlinear inequality that follows from the above conjecture, for boundary complexes of flag d-polytopes: h1(Δ)hi(Δ)≥(d−i+1)hi−1(Δ)+(i+1)hi+1(Δ) for all 0≤i≤d.
