Abstract

The shiftable Heffter arrays are naturally generalized to the shiftable Heffter spaces. We present a recursive construction which starting from a single shiftable Heffter space leads to infinitely many other shiftable Heffter spaces of the same degree. We also present a direct construction making use of pandiagonal magic squares leading to a shiftable (162,4l;3)(16\ell^2,4l;3) Heffter space for any 1\ell \geq 1. Combining these constructions we obtain a shiftable (162mn,4n;3)(16\ell^2mn, 4\ell n; 3) Heffter space for every triple of positive integers (,m,n)(\ell,m,n) with mnm \geq n.
