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

%C 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).

%C 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.

%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 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).

%F T(n,k) = A337883(n,k) - A337884(n,k) = (A337883(n,k) - A337886(n,k)) / 2 = A337884(n,k) - A337886(n,k).
