The odd-order latin-cuboid transversal conjecture

At least 2 years old · documented by

A latin nn-cuboid of order qq is an nn-dimensional array with one dimension of length less than qq and the remaining dimensions of length qq, whose lines contain different symbols. A layer is obtained by fixing one coordinate, and a transversal is a set of cells meeting every layer in at most one cell and having pairwise different symbols. Odd-order latin-cuboid transversal conjecture. Every (2q−1)(2q-1)-layer latin nn-cuboid of odd order qq has transversals. The source presents this as a proposed generalization of known results for row-latin rectangles, but gives no proof or resolution status for the cuboid statement.
