Sperner's colorings of hypergraphs arising from edgewise triangulations
Abstract
We investigate Sperner's labelings of , the hypergraph whose hyperedges are facets of the edgewise triangulation of a -simplex defined by a permutation . Mirzakhani and Vondr\' ak showed that the greedy coloring of produces the maximal number of monochromatic hyperedges. The line graph of is built from the copies of the graph that represents which subsets of consecutive numbers of are contiguous in . We characterize these graphs in terms of dissections a regular -gon and also show how they encode the adjacency relation between a hypersimplex and the facets of its alcoved triangulation. The natural action of the dihedral group on a regular -gon and graphs extends on the group of permutations . Independent sets of the graphs of the permutations that are not invariant under the rotation are used to define a class of Sperner's colorings that produce more monochromatic hyperedges then the greedy colorings. This colorings are also optimal for a certain permutations.
