An **abstract polytope** is a poset $X$ (here finite), whose elements are called faces, satisfying these 4 conditions: 1. There is a least face and a greatest face. 2. All flags (i.e. maximal chains) have the same number of faces. 3. $X$ is strongly connected, i.e. for every interval $[F_1,F_2]$ in $X$ and $F, F' \in (F_1,F_2)$ there is a way to get from $F$ to $F'$ via adjacent faces in $(F_1,F_2)$. 4. If $F_1 < F_2$ differ in rank by 2, then there are exactly two intermediate faces $F, F'$ in the interval $(F_1,F_2)$. Denote the set of faces of rank $i$ in $X$ by $X_i$ and the rank of $X$ by $n$. My question is: > If $X$ is an abstract polytope with $\chi(X) = 0$, i.e. $\sum_{i=-1}^n (-1)^i X_i = 0$, then is $X$ necessarily Eulerian, i.e. is it the case that for every $F_1 < F_2$, $\sum_{i = rank(F_1)}^{rank(F_2)} (-1)^i[F_1,F_2]_i = 0$?
