A338113 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of oriented colorings of the faces (and peaks) of a regular n-dimensional simplex using exactly k colors. Row n has C(n+1,3) columns. 4

COMMENTS
An n-dimensional simplex has n+1 vertices, C(n+1,3) faces, and C(n+1,3) peaks, which are (n-3)-dimensional simplexes. For n=2, the figure is a triangle with one face. For n=3, the figure is a tetrahedron with four triangular faces and four peaks (vertices). For n=4, the figure is a 4-simplex with ten triangular faces and ten peaks (edges). The Schläfli symbol {3,...,3}, of the regular n-dimensional simplex consists of n-1 3's. Two oriented colorings are the same if one is a rotation of the other; chiral pairs are counted as two.
The algorithm used in the Mathematica program below assigns each permutation of the vertices to a cycle-structure partition of n+1. It then determines the number of permutations for each partition and the cycle index for each partition. If the value of m is increased, one can enumerate colorings of higher-dimensional elements beginning with T(m,1).

FORMULA
A337883(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..C(n+1,3)} T(n,j) * binomial(k,j).
T(n,k) = A338114(n,k) + A338115(n,k) = 2*A338114(n,k) - A338116(n,k) = 2*A338115(n,k) + A338116(n,k).
T(3,k) = A325002(3,k); T(4,k) = A327087(4,k).
EXAMPLE
Triangle begins with T(2,1):
1
1 3 3 2
1 38 1080 14040 85500 274104 493920 504000 272160 60480
...
For T(3,2)=3, the tetrahedron has one, two, or three faces (vertices) of one color.
