Construct an explicit non-polytopal Bier sphere
Construct a specific simplicial complex K on a finite vertex set [m], with K ≠ Δ_[m], such that the Bier sphere Bier(K) is non-polytopal; that is, Bier(K) is not combinatorially equivalent to the boundary complex of any convex polytope.

On the other hand, it was observed in that almost all Bier spheres of simplicial complexes on $[m]$ are non-polytopal, as $m\to\infty$; however, no particular example of a non-polytopal Bier sphere has been constructed so far.
