Title
Kalai's Squeezed 3-Spheres Are Polytopal
Abstract
.    In 1988 Kalai [5] extended a construction of Billera and Lee to produce many triangulated (d-1) -spheres. In fact, in view of the upper bounds on the number of simplicial d -polytopes by Goodman and Pollack [2], [3], he derived that for every dimension d≥ 5 , most of these (d-1) -spheres are not polytopal. However, for d=4 , this reasoning fails. We can now show that, as already conjectured by Kalai, all of his 3-spheres are in fact polytopal. We also give a shorter proof for Hebble and Lee's result [4] that the dual graphs of these 4 -polytopes are Hamiltonian.
