%N Array read by descending antidiagonals: T(n,k) is the number of chiral pairs of colorings of the edges of a regular n-dimensional orthotope (hypercube) using k or fewer colors.

%C Each member of a chiral pair is a reflection, but not a rotation, of the other. For n=1, the figure is a line segment with one edge. For n=2, the figure is a square with 4 edges. For n=3, the figure is a cube with 12 edges. The number of edges is n*2^(n-1).

%C Also the number of chiral pairs of colorings of the regular (n-2)-dimensional simplexes in a regular n-dimensional orthoplex.

%H K. Balasubramanian, <a href="https://doi.org/10.33187/jmsm.471940">Computational enumeration of colorings of hyperplanes of hypercubes for all irreducible representations and applications</a>, J. Math. Sci. & Mod. 1 (2018), 158-180.

%F The algorithm used in the Mathematica program below assigns each permutation of the axes to a partition of n and then considers separate conjugacy classes for axis reversals. It uses the formulas in Balasubramanian's paper. If the value of m is increased, one can enumerate colorings of higher-dimensional elements beginning with T(m,1).

%F T(n,k) = A337407(n,k) - A337408(n,k) = (A337407(n,k) - A337410(n,k)) / 2 = A337408(n,k) - A337410(n,k).
