Zigzag structure of direct products of polygons
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.
