Disjoint faces of complementary dimensionMike DevelinAmerican Institute of Mathematics, 360 Portage Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94306-2244 USA, e-mail: develin@post.harvard.eduAbstract: In this short note, we show that if $P$ is a $d$-polytope which is not the simplex, then for all $0<k<d$, we can find a $k$-face of $P$ and a $(d-k)$-face of $P$ which are disjoint. This statement generalizes a result of Miller and Helm [HM], who proved it for the case $k=1$. [HM] Helm, D.; Miller, E.: Bass numbers of semigroup-graded local cohomology.
