Abstract: A simplicial complex is r-colored if its 1-skeleton is r-colorable in the graph theoretic sense. In this talk, we describe the convex hull of the set of Betti vectors of r-colored complexes on n vertices. We show that this polytope is a simplex whose vertices are Betti vectors of skeleta of the clique complex of Turán’s graph T(n, r). This resolves a conjecture of Kozlov (1997).
