Prodsimplicial-neighborly polytopes (Q542391)

From the abstract: The authors generalize simultaneously both neighborly and neighborly cubical polytopes to PSN polytopes: their \(k\)-skeleton is combinatorially equivalent to that of a product of \(r\) simplices. They construct PSN polytopes by three different methods, the most versatile of which is an extension of the ``projecting deformed products'' construction by \textit{R. Sanyal} and \textit{G. M. Ziegler} [Discrete Comput. Geom. 43, No.~2, 412--435 (2010; Zbl 1192.52019)] to products of arbitrary simple polytopes. For general \(r\) and \(k\), the lowest dimension they achieve is \(2k+r+1\). The authors show that this dimension is minimal if additionally required that the PSN polytope is obtained as a projection of a polytope that is combinatorially equivalent to the product of \(r\) simplices, when the dimensions of these simplices are all large compared to \(k\).
