Abstract

The face numbers of simplicial polytopes that approximate C1-convex bodies in the Hausdorff metric is studied. Several structural results about the skeleta of such polytopes are studied and used to derive a lower bound theorem for this class of polytopes. This partially resolves a conjecture made by Kalai in 1994: if a sequence {Pn}8n=0 of simplicial polytopes converges to a C1-convex body in the Hausdorff distance, then the entries of the g-vector of Pn converge to infinity.
