Abstract

What is the minimal closed cone containing all f-vectors of cubical d-polytopes? We construct cubical polytopes showing that this cone, expressed in the cubical g-vector coordinates, contains the nonnegative g-orthant, thus verifying one direction of the Cubical Generalized Lower Bound Conjecture of Babson, Billera, and Chan. Our polytopes also show that a natural cubical analogue of the simplicial Generalized Lower Bound Theorem does not hold.
