Stable odd-cycle trade conjecture with bounded isotopy depth
Stable odd-cycle trade conjecture with bounded isotopy depth
Let be the set of Latin squares of even order . A stable odd-cycle two-line trade is an odd-cycle trade whose canonical selection remains compatible with reapplication, and let range over single transpositions of two rows or two columns. Stable odd-cycle trade conjecture. For every , there exists a stable odd-cycle two-line trade in or in a conjugate such that the stabilized canonical rule selects the same for and . Consequently, the resulting map is a sign-reversing involution except possibly on a residual set handled by a final canonical rule, with . The statement is an experimental proposal; the supplied text does not prove existence of the stable trades or the residual bias.
