| contents | The study of face-number-related invariants in simplicial complexes is a central topic in combinatorial topology. Among these, the invariant $g_2$ plays a significant role. For a normal $d$-pseudomanifold $K$ ($d \geq 3$), it is known that $g_2(K) \geq g_2(lk(v, K))$ for every vertex $v$. If $K$ has at most two singularities and satisfies $g_2(K) = g_2(lk(t, K))$ for a singular vertex $t$, then $g_3(K) \geq g_3(lk(t,K))$ holds. A normal $d$-pseudomanifold $K$ is called $g_2$- and $g_3$-optimal if $g_2(K) = g_2(lk (t,K))$ and $g_3(K) = g_3(lk (t,K))$ for a singular vertex $t$.
In this article, we establish structural results for normal $4$-pseudomanifolds under $g_2$- and $g_3$-optimality conditions. We show that if $K$ is a normal $4$-pseudomanifold with exactly one singular vertex $t$ and is $g_2$- and $g_3$-optimal at $t$, then $K$ can be obtained from boundary complexes of $5$-simplices through a sequence of operations of types vertex foldings and connected sums. When $K$ has exactly two singularities and is $g_2$- and $g_3$-optimal at one singular vertex, it is derived from the boundary complexes of $4$-simplices through a sequence of operations of types one-vertex suspensions, vertex foldings, and connected sums. Alternatively, we prove that if $K$ has two singular vertices and is $g_2$- and $g_3$-optimal at one of them, then it arises from boundary complexes of $5$-simplices through a sequence of operations of types vertex foldings, edge foldings, and connected sums. |
