Jacobi identity in polyhedral products

Algebraic Topology 2021-11-25 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We show that a relation among minimal non-faces of a fillable complex KK yields an identity of iterated (higher) Whitehead products in a polyhedral product over KK. In particular, for the (n1)(n-1)-skeleton of a simplicial nn-sphere, we always have such an identity, and for the (n1)(n-1)-skeleton of a (n+1)(n+1)-simplex, the identity is the Jacobi identity of Whitehead products (n=1n=1) and Hardie's identity of higher Whitehead products (n2n\ge 2).
