didericis d547076cba Verify chain-pigeonhole exhaustively for n<=14 via R_T composition fixpoint
Add kempe_rt_composition_probe.py: Ext(T) = boundary necklaces realisable on a
subtree's outer seam by a compatible Kempe-balanced selection; monotone maps over
minimal-antichain families decide whether empty Ext is reachable. Modeling facts
established: the seam is exactly the singleton down apexes (bite apexes have parent
faces on both sides, hence parent-internal); necklace states are exact because a
child attaches with free dihedral placement (dihedral-closed sequence sets).

Result over all no-length-3-boundary tiles n<=14 (7750 tiles, 1966 distinct
relations, 149 leaf, 27 branching): empty Ext is NOT reachable — every assemblable
tree admits a compatible selection, verifying the chain-pigeonhole conjecture
exhaustively for tire trees with treads n<=14 and no separating triangles. The
fixpoint saturates in 2 rounds: restriction does not accumulate along chains.
Tightest subtree pins a size-5 seam to the single necklace 00012; every smallest
minimal Ext contains the blocky/regular state. Relations cached (~6MB) for cheap
extension to larger n. Caveat: terminal facial-triangle leaves not yet modeled.

math-research

Personal mathematics research repository by Eric Bauerfeld. Papers are written in AMS-LaTeX using the amsart document class and live under papers/.

Papers

All papers are at papers/<name>/paper.tex. The current set:

Directory Title
colored_edge_flip_classes Colored Edge Flip Classes
colored_pentagon_contractions Colored Pentagon Reductions
coloring_nested_tire_dual_graphs Coloring Nested Tire Dual Graphs
even_level_graph_generators Even Level Graph Generators: a constructive conjecture stronger than the Four Color Theorem
face_monochromatic_pairs Face-Monochromatic Pairs and the Four Colour Theorem
iterated_reduction_in_reduced_dual An Iterated Reduction in the Reduced Dual
level_resolutions_of_maximal_planar_graphs Level Resolutions of Maximal Planar Graphs
level_switching Level Switching
medial_tire_decompositions_of_plane_triangulations Medial Tire Decompositions of Plane Triangulations
nested_tire_decompositions_of_plane_triangulations Nested Tire Decompositions of Plane Triangulations
plane_depth Plane Depth
plane_depth_sequencing Plane Depth Sequencing
plane_diamond_coloring Plane Diamond Coloring

The papers form a connected programme around plane triangulations, BFS-level structure, and the Four Colour Theorem. plane_depth introduces the level / dual-depth framework that downstream papers build on; nested_tire_decompositions_of_plane_triangulations develops the tire-tread tree-of-treads decomposition.

Creating a New Paper

Use run.sh to scaffold a new paper from the AMS-LaTeX template:

./run.sh init_paper "Your Paper Title"

This creates papers/<name>/ (the name is derived from the title, lower-cased, spaces → underscores) containing a paper.tex pre-filled with the title and author.

Setup

The Python library code in lib/ requires SageMath. Run setup once per machine:

./run.sh setup <sage_python_path> <sage_site_packages> [system_name]
  • sage_python_path — path to the SageMath Python interpreter (e.g. /opt/sage/local/bin/python3)
  • sage_site_packages — path to SageMath's site-packages directory
  • system_name — optional label for this machine (defaults to hostname -s); used to store per-machine env files as .env.<system_name>

On subsequent runs the paths default to whatever was saved in .env, so ./run.sh setup alone re-runs setup with the existing configuration.

Setup also compiles the plantri submodule via make.

Running Sage

To run a Sage script with plantri available on PATH:

./run.sh sage <script.py> [args...]

Or to open an interactive Sage session:

./run.sh sage

Linting

./run.sh lint

Runs pyright and pylint on lib/ using the SageMath Python interpreter.

Shell Completion

To enable tab-completion for run.sh in zsh, add this to your .zshrc:

eval "$(path/to/run.sh completion)"

Or source it once in the current shell session:

eval "$(./run.sh completion)"

Building

Papers are compiled with LaTeX. From within a paper directory:
