Reiner's Conjecture on Higher Bruhat Orders in Corank 3

Reiner conjectured a description of the homotopy types of intervals in higher Bruhat orders. In corank 33 it holds: the facial intervals of B(n,n3)B(n,n-3) are exactly the spherical intervals, and every other interval is contractible.

What was actually shown

corank 3; the general conjecture remains open, corank 2 being McConville's case
