The -vector is an important enumerative invariant of a flag simplicial homology sphere. It has been conjectured by Gal that this vector is nonnegative for every such sphere 1 and by Reiner, Postnikov and Williams that it increases when1 is replaced by any flag simplicial homology sphere that geometrically subdivides1. Using the nonnegativity of the -vector in dimension 3, proved by Davis and Okun, as well as Stanley’s theory of simplicial subdivisions and local h-vectors, the latter conjecture is confirmed in this paper in dimensions 3 and 4.
