Nonexistence of a quadrisection of the six-dimensional torus by subcube partitions
Nonexistence of a quadrisection of the six-dimensional torus by subcube partitions
Let , and partition its subcubes into four classes. Nonexistence conjecture. No partition of the subcubes of gives a quadrisection of . The paper explains that the symmetric construction used in odd dimensions fails because and are not relatively prime. It suggests that a less symmetric partition might exist but reports that trial and error indicates this is unlikely; no proof of nonexistence is given.
