Lins triality formulas for prisms and antiprisms

From papers

Let M{\cal M} be a map, and denote the Euler characteristics of M{\cal M}, phial(M)phial({\cal M}), and skew(M)skew({\cal M}) by χ(M)\chi({\cal M}), χp(M)\chi_p({\cal M}), and χs(M)\chi_s({\cal M}), respectively. Lins-triality conjecture. For PrismmPrism_m, one has χs(Prismm)=gcd(m,4)m\chi_s(Prism_m)=\gcd(m,4)-m, with skew(Prismm)skew(Prism_m) oriented exactly when mm is even, and

χp(Prismm)=2+gcd(m,4)2m=χ(Prismm)+χs(Prismm)m,\chi_p(Prism_m)=2+\gcd(m,4)-2m=\chi(Prism_m)+\chi_s(Prism_m)-m,

with phial(M)phial({\cal M}) non-oriented. For APrismmAPrism_m, one has χs(APrismm)=1+gcd(m,3)2m\chi_s(APrism_m)=1+\gcd(m,3)-2m with skew(M)skew({\cal M}) non-oriented, and

χp(APrismm)=3+gcd(m,3)2m=χ(APrismm)+χs(APrismm),\chi_p(APrism_m)=3+\gcd(m,3)-2m=\chi(APrism_m)+\chi_s(APrism_m),

with skew(APrismm)skew(APrism_m) oriented. The formulas were checked up to n=100n=100, but the supplied text does not establish them in general.
