Abstract

Stanley proved that for any centrally symmetric simplicial d-polytope P with d≥ 3 , g2(P)≥(d2)-d. We provide a characterization of centrally symmetric simplicial d-polytopes with d≥ 4 that satisfy this inequality as equality. This gives a natural generalization of the classical Lower Bound Theorem for simplicial polytopes to the setting of centrally symmetric simplicial polytopes.
