Comments

Each member of a chiral pair is a reflection, but not a rotation, of the other. The Schläfli symbols for the tesseract and the hyperoctahedron are {4,3,3} and {3,3,4} respectively. Both figures are regular 4-D polyhedra and they are mutually dual.

Formula

a(n) = (n-1) * n^2 * (n+1) * (n^12 + n^10 - 11*n^8 + n^6 + 44 n^4 - 4 n^2 - 48) / 384.

a(n) = 94*C(n,2) + 97692*C(n,3) + 10308758*C(n,4) + 337560150*C(n,5) + 5098740090*C(n,6) + 42976836210*C(n,7) + 224685801060*C(n,8) + 775389028050*C(n,9) + 1830791421900*C(n,10) + 3007909258200*C(n,11) + 3439214024400*C(n,12) + 2685727044000*C(n,13) + 1366701336000*C(n,14) + 408648240000*C(n,15) + 54486432000*C(n,16), where the coefficient of C(n,k) is the number of chiral pairs of colorings using exactly k colors.

a(n) = A337952(n) - A128767(n) = (A337952(n) - A337955(n)) / 2 = A128767(n) - A337955(n).
