Seeds with maximal Buchstaber number
A PL~sphere is called a seed if it is not obtained by simplicial wedge operation, which preserves Buchstaber numbers.
For a seed of dimension n−1 with n+p vertices, Choi and Park proved that the inequality n+p≤2p−1 holds if p≥3, and as a corollary, the number of seeds is finite for each fixed number p.
We introduce a method to generate a new seed from an original seed as preserving its Buchstaber number, and apply to show that for all integers n≥2, p≥3 satisfying the inequality, there exists a seed of dimension n−1 with n+p vertices whose Buchstaber number is maximal, particularly, the inequality is tight.
This is joint work with Suyoung Choi.
