Length-profile bounds and parity conjectures for hypercube drawings

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Consider a length-regular drawing of the dd-dimensional hypercube, with edge lengths ℓ1≤ℓ2≤⋯\ell_1\leq \ell_2\leq\cdots. Length-profile conjectures. The following assertions are proposed: (1) for every ii, ℓi≤2d−1−2d−(i+1)\ell_i\leq 2^{d-1}-2^{d-(i+1)}; (2) there must exist edges of even length, with the dimension qualification left unresolved in the source; and (3) if a length ℓ\ell is odd, it cannot occur twice, with the source suggesting a qualification of d≥3d\geq 3 or d≥4d\geq 4. These claims concern structural restrictions on length-regular hypercube drawings. The tentative dimension qualifications and the informal presentation make the precise scope unclear, and the source gives no resolution.
