The construction is applied to produce 2-simplicial and 2-simple 4-polytopes with g_2=0 on any number of n >= 13 vertices. In particular, this implies that the ray l_1, described by Bayer (1987), is fully contained in the convex hull of all flag vectors of 4-polytopes. Especially interesting examples on 9, 10 and 11 vertices are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-07-14T12:19:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "52B05", "52B12" ], "keywords": [ "flag vectors", "construction", "convex hull", "d-polytopes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.....11751P" } } }
