A Classification of Autoparatopisms of Latin Cubes

Combinatorics 2019-11-15 v3

Abstract

A paratopism is an action on a Latin hypercube of dimension d and order n which is an element of the wreath product SnSd+1S_n \wr S_{d+1}. A paratopism is said to be an autoparatopism if there is at least one Latin hypercube which is mapped to itself under the action of the paratopism. In this paper we classify autoparatopisms of Latin cubes given d = 3 and nZ+n \in \mathbb{Z^+}, upto the conjugacy in SnS4S_n \wr S_4. In order to achieve this objective, we prove that given an autoparatopism σSnSd+1{\sigma} \in S_n \wr S_{d+1}, all the conjugates of σ{\sigma} are autoparatpisms. Also, an important condition is presented, which states that the cycle structure of the δ{\delta} in the element σ=(α1,α2,α3,α4;δ){\sigma}= ({\alpha}_1,{\alpha}_2,{\alpha}_3,{\alpha}_4;{\delta}) of SnS4S_n \wr S_4 determines the conjugacy.
