Frank H. Lutz, G\"unter M. Ziegler

TL;DR
This paper introduces a compact 4-dimensional polyhedral model of a 2-dimensional complex that is Z-acyclic but not contractible, illustrating a unique topological property.
Contribution
It provides the first small polyhedral realization of a Z-acyclic, non-contractible 2-complex in four dimensions.
Findings
Constructed a minimal 4D polyhedral complex with the desired properties
Demonstrated the complex's Z-acyclic but non-contractible nature
Contributed to understanding of topological and combinatorial properties of high-dimensional complexes
Abstract
