contents For $d\geq 4$, Kalai (1987) characterized all simplicial $(d-1)$-spheres with $g_2=0$, and for $k\geq 2$ and $d\geq 2k$, Murai and Nevo (2013) characterized all simplicial $(d-1)$-spheres with $g_k=0$. In addition, for $d\geq 4$, Nevo and Novinsky (2011) characterized all simplicial $(d-1)$-spheres with $g_2=1$. Motivated by these results, we characterize, for any $k\geq 2$ and $d\geq 2k+1$, all simplicial $(d-1)$-spheres with no missing faces of dimension larger than $d-k$ that satisfy $g_k=1$. When $d=2k$, we obtain a characterization of simplicial $(d-1)$-spheres with $g_k=1$ and no missing faces of dimension greater than $k$, under the additional assumption that there exists at least one missing face of dimension $k$. Finally, for $k=3$, we are able to remove this assumption and characterize all simplicial $5$-spheres with no missing faces of dimension larger than $3$ that satisfy $g_3=1$.
