Abstract: A centrally symmetric $2d$-vertex combinatorial triangulation of the product of spheres $S^{i}imes{S}^{d-2-i}$ is constructed for all pairs of non-negative integers $i$ and $d$ with $0leqileqd-2$. For the case of $i=d-2-i$, the existence of such a triangulation was conjectured by Sparla. The constructed complex admits a vertex-transitive action by a group of order $4d$. The crux of this construction is a definition of a certain full-dimensional subcomplex, $B(i,d)$, of the boundary complex of the $d$-dimensional cross-polytope. This complex $B(i,d)$ is a combinatorial manifold with boundary and its boundary provides a required triangulation of $S^{i}imes{S}^{d-i-2}$. Enumerative characteristics of $B(i,d)$ and its boundary, and connections to another conjecture of Sparla are also discussed.
