On links of vertices in simplicial $d$-complexes embeddable in the euclidean $2d$-space

We consider $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes which can be PL embedded in the $2d$-dimensional euclidean space. In short, we show that in any such complex, for any three vertices, the intersection of the link-complexes of the vertices is linklessly embeddable in the $(2d-1)$-dimensional euclidean space. These considerations lead us to a new upper bound on the total number of $d$-simplices in an embeddable complex in $2d$-space with $n$ vertices, improving known upper bounds, for all $d \geq 2$. Moreover, the bound is also true for the size of $d$-complexes linklessly embeddable in the $(2d+1)$-dimensional space.
