Abstract

Let KK be an (n1)(n-1)-dimensional piecewise linear sphere on [m][m], where mn+4m\leq n+4. There are a canonical action of mm-dimensional torus TmT^m on the moment-angle complex ZK\mathcal{Z}_K, and a canonical action of Z2m\mathbb{Z}_2^m on the real moment-angle complex RZK\mathbb{R}\mathcal{Z}_K, where Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 is the additive group with two elements. We prove that any subgroup of Z2m\mathbb{Z}_2^m acting freely on RZK\mathbb{R}\mathcal{Z}_K is induced by a subtorus of TmT^m acting freely on ZK\mathcal{Z}_K. The proof primarily utilizes a suitably modified method of toric wedge induction and the combinatorial structure of a specific binary matroid of rank 44.
