Comments

Each chiral pair is counted as two when enumerating oriented arrangements. For n=2, the figure is a square with one square face. For n=3, the figure is an octahedron with 8 triangular faces. For higher n, the number of triangular faces is 8*C(n,3).

Also the number of oriented colorings of the peaks of an n-dimensional orthotope (hypercube). A peak is an (n-3)-dimensional orthotope.

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).

Formula

T(n,k) = A337892(n,k) + A337893(n,k) = 2*A337892(n,k) - A337894(n,k) = 2*A337893(n,k) + A337894(n,k).
