Highly neighborly centrally symmetric spheres

Abstract

In 1995, Jockusch constructed an infinite family of centrally symmetric 33-dimensional simplicial spheres that are cs-22-neighborly. Here we generalize his construction and show that for all d3d\geq 3 and nd+1n\geq d+1, there exists a centrally symmetric dd-dimensional simplicial sphere with 2n2n vertices that is cs-d/2\lceil d/2\rceil-neighborly. This result combined with work of Adin and Stanley completely resolves the upper bound problem for centrally symmetric simplicial spheres.
