Zigzag structure of direct products of polygons
Let and be polygons, and set
Write for the multiset of zigzag lengths and multiplicities, and for intersection vectors. Product-of-polygons conjecture. For the direct product : if are both even, then with for every zigzag; if exactly one of is odd, then , with for zigzags and for the remaining zigzags; and if are both odd, then , with for zigzags of length and for zigzags of length . The conjecture was checked for ; its general validity remains unresolved in the supplied text.
