ABSTRACT 

Abstract: How neighborly can a centrally symmetric d-dimensional polytope with n vertices be? What is the largest number of i-dimensional faces that such a polytope can have? Which of these polytopes have the largest number of faces? In this talk I'll report on some recent progress (joint with Alexander Barvinok, Seung Jin Lee, and Nati Linial) on these questions.
