Odd-power Eisenstein module classification and enumeration of linear Mendelsohn triple systems

Let k3k\geq 3 and let Lin(Z[ζ]/(1+ζ)2k+1,R)\emph{Lin}(\mathbb{Z}[\zeta]/(1+\zeta)^{2k+1},R) be a Mendelsohn triple system, where ζ\zeta denotes a primitive cube root of unity. Set

M=Z/3kZ/3k+1.M=\mathbb{Z}/_{3^k}\oplus\mathbb{Z}/_{3^{k+1}}.

The notation TψT^\psi refers to the endomorphism defined from the ring homomorphism ψ\psi as in the preceding small-order classification.

Odd-power classification conjecture. There is a quasigroup isomorphism

Lin(Z[ζ]/(1+ζ)2k+1,R)Lin(M,Tψ).\emph{Lin}(\mathbb{Z}[\zeta]/(1+\zeta)^{2k+1},R)\cong \emph{Lin}(M,T^\psi).

Moreover, the number of linear Mendelsohn triple systems of order 3n3^n is

l(3n)=P(n),l(3^n)=P(n),

where P(n)P(n) denotes the partition function.

This conjecture extrapolates the classifications established for the first few odd powers of 1+ζ1+\zeta and predicts that the enumeration of linear Mendelsohn triple systems of order 3n3^n is governed by integer partitions. Its status is unresolved in the supplied source.
