Frankl-Füredi-Kalai Inequalities on the $\gamma$-vectors of flag nestohedra

Abstract

For any flag nestohedron, we define a flag simplicial complex whose $f$-vector is the $\gamma$-vector of the nestohedron. This proves that the $\gamma$-vector of any flag nestohedron satisfies the Frankl-Füredi-Kalai inequalities, partially solving a conjecture by Nevo and Petersen \cite{np}. We also compare these complexes to those defined by Nevo and Petersen in \cite{np} for particular flag nestohedra.
