A337888 Array read by descending antidiagonals: T(n,k) is the number of unoriented colorings of the square faces of a regular n-dimensional orthotope (hypercube) using k or fewer colors.

Comments

Each chiral pair is counted as one when enumerating unoriented arrangements. Each face is a square bounded by four edges. For n=2, the figure is a square with one face. For n=3, the figure is a cube with 6 faces. For n=4, the figure is a tesseract with 24 faces. The number of faces is 2^(n-2)*C(n,2).
Also the number of unoriented colorings of peaks of an n-dimensional orthoplex. A peak is an (n-3)-dimensional simplex.

Formula

The algorithm used in the Mathematica program below assigns each permutation of the axes to a partition of n and then considers separate conjugacy classes for axis reversals. It uses the formulas in Balasubramanian's paper. If the value of m is increased, one can enumerate colorings of higher-dimensional elements beginning with T(m,1).
T(n,k) = A337887(n,k) - A337889(n,k) = (A337887(n,k) + A337890(n,k)) / 2 = A337889(n,k) + A337890(n,k).
