COMMENTS
Each member of a chiral pair is a reflection, but not a rotation, of the other. An n-simplex has n+1 vertices. For n=2, the figure is a triangle with one triangular face. For n=3, the figure is a tetrahedron with 4 triangular faces. For higher n, the number of triangular faces is C(n+1,3).
Also the number of chiral pairs of colorings of the peaks of a regular n-dimensional simplex. A peak of an n-simplex is an (n-3)-dimensional simplex.

FORMULA
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 using a formula for binary Lyndon words. If the value of m is increased, one can enumerate colorings of higher-dimensional elements beginning with T(m,1).
T(n,k) = A337883(n,k) - A337884(n,k) = (A337883(n,k) - A337886(n,k)) / 2 = A337884(n,k) - A337886(n,k).
EXAMPLE
Table begins with T(2,1):
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
0 0 0 1 5 15 35 ...
0 6 405 7904 76880 486522 2300305 ...
0 1368 4775706 1522540416 132342705750 5076500214744 110809322249220 ...
For T(3,4)=1, the chiral pair is ABCD-ABDC.
