Abstract: For $dgeq2$, Walkup's class $Kd$ consists of the $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes whose vertex-links are stacked $(d-1)$-spheres. Recently Lutz, Sulanke and Swartz have shown that all $mathbbF$-orientable triangulated $d$-manifolds satisfy the inequality $$ for $dgeq3$. They call a $d$-manifold emph{tight neighborly} if it attains the equality in the bound. For $dgeq4$, tight neighborly $d$-manifolds are precisely the 2-neighborly members of $Kd$. In this paper we show that there does not exist any tight neighborly $d$-manifold with $$.
