Does Kalai's $3^d$ conjecture hold for simplicial spheres?
Kalai's $3^d$ conjecture asserts that every centrally symmetric $d$-polytope has at least $3^d$ non-empty faces. This is open in general, but has been proven for simplicial polytopes.

"Baues poset" of shellings of simplicial polytope?
Let me start with some background I want to use as analogy.
Consider a (convex) polytope $P$ and its set of triangulations. Among all the triangulations, a well behaved subset are the regular ones: ...

Constructing a $0/1$ polytope from an abstract simplicial complex
Let us fix $\Delta$ a finite simplicial complex, and label the vertices of $\Delta$ as $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. For each $F\in \Delta$ let us consider the point in $\mathbb{R}^n$ given by:
$$e_F := \sum_{i\...

Sufficient criterion for a simplicial sphere to be polytopal
Are there any purely combinatorial criteria which allow you to deduce that a spherical simplicial complex is polytopal (i.e., there exists a simplicial polytope whose boundary is isomorphic to it)?

Cyclic polytopes whose boundary is a flag complex
A cyclic polytope $C(n, d)$ is defined as the convex hull of $n$ distinct points on the moment curve in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (here $n>d$). This is a simplicial polytope so its boundary $\partial C(n, d)$ ...

What are the 4 convex simplicial 4-polytopes that have 6 vertices?
In Convex polytopes and related complexes by Klee and Kleinschmidt they state the number of $d$-polytopes with $d+2$ vertices is $\lfloor \frac{d^2}{4}\rfloor$.
I was wondering what the four $4$-...
