First law of cubology for Rubik groups of oriented maps
First law of cubology for Rubik groups of oriented maps
Let be an oriented map with vertex set and edge set , and let , , and be the kernels of the successive homomorphisms in the decomposition of :
Here has vertices and edges. First law of cubology. The following is conjectured:
and
if all faces of have odd size, while
otherwise. This conjectural description aims to determine the successive kernel factors and the induced permutation group on vertices of the Rubik group of an oriented map. The supplied context proves only subgroup inclusions, not the asserted isomorphisms, and gives no resolution of the conjecture.
