Nonpolytopal nonsimplicial lattice spheres with nonnegative toric \(g\)-vector (Q1930545)

The authors construct many nonpolytopal nonsimplicial Gorenstein\(^{\ast }\) meet semi-lattices with nonnegative toric \(g\)-vector, supporting a conjecture of Stanley. The main result can be described as follows. Let \(n \geq d \geq 4\) be integers and \(M\) be the boundary poset of the \(d\)-dimensional multiplex with \(n+1\) vertices. Let \(I\) be an ideal in \(M\) which contains all the elements in \(M\) of rank at most \(\lceil \frac{d}{2} \rceil +1\). Let \(P\) be the Bier poset \(P=\text{Bier}(M,I)\). Then they proved that \(P\) is a Gorenstein\(^{\ast }\) meet semi-lattice with a nonnegative toric \(g\)-vector.
