%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of achiral colorings of the edges of a regular n-dimensional simplex using exactly k colors. Row n has (n+1)*n/2 columns.

%C An n-dimensional simplex has n+1 vertices and (n+1)*n/2 edges. For n=1, the figure is a line segment with one edge. For n-2, the figure is a triangle with three edges. For n=3, the figure is a tetrahedron with six edges. The Schläfli symbol, {3,...,3}, of the regular n-dimensional simplex consists of n-1 threes. An achiral coloring is identical to its reflection.

%C T(n,k) is also the number of achiral colorings of (n-2)-dimensional regular simplices in an n-dimensional simplex using exactly k colors. Thus, T(2,k) is also the number of achiral colorings of the vertices (0-dimensional simplices) of an equilateral triangle.

%F The algorithm used in the Mathematica program below assigns each permutation of the vertices to a partition of n+1. It then determines the number of permutations for each partition and the cycle index for each partition. The last n-1 entries in row n are zero.

%F A327086(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..(n+1)*n/2} T(n,j) * binomial(k,j).

%F A(n,k) = 2*A327084(n,k) - A327083(n,k) = A327083(n,k) - 2*A327085(n,k) = A327084(n,k) - A327085(n,k).
