Edge-only orbit coloring symmetry-fafulness conjecture
Edge-only orbit coloring symmetry-fafulness conjecture
Let be a full-dimensional polytope of dimension , with edge-graph . Consider the edge-only orbit coloring, obtained by coloring edges according to their orbits under the relevant symmetry group. A coloring is symmetry faithful when every automorphism of the colored edge-graph is induced by a symmetry of .
Edge-only orbit coloring conjecture. The edge-only orbit coloring is symmetry faithful for both the linear symmetry group and the orthogonal symmetry group:
and
This proposes that, in dimension at least three, edge colors alone suffice to capture both linear and orthogonal symmetries of a polytope. The supplied text does not state whether the claim is known or resolved, so its status remains open.
