  "summary": "The complexes VR(Q_n;4) are torsion-free for n at most 5. For n=6, the rational reduced Betti numbers are 239 in degree 7 and 14 in degree 15, and every integral homology group has trivial 2-primary torsion. Odd-primary torsion at n=6 and the full torsion question for every n at least 7 remain unresolved.",
  "relevance": "For Integral torsion in scale-four hypercube Rips complexes, record hr4-claim-current-torsion-boundary (“Torsion-free through n=5 and no 2-primary torsion at n=6”) records a bound, answer, status fact, or structural consequence. The record states: The complexes VR(Q_n;4) are torsion-free for n at most 5.",
  "relevance_source": "recorded",
  "body": "For \\(1\\leq n\\leq4\\), every pair of cube vertices has Hamming distance at most four. The Rips complex is a simplex, so its integral homology is \\(H_0\\cong\\mathbb Z\\) with all higher groups zero. For \\(n=5\\), the only forbidden pairs are the sixteen complementary pairs. The complex is the join of sixteen copies of \\(S^0\\), hence is \\(S^{15}\\). Thus \\(H_0\\cong H_{15}\\cong\\mathbb Z\\), with all other groups zero.\n\nAt \\(n=6\\), Galetto, Montaño, and Wellner report\n\\[\n\\widetilde H_j(\\operatorname{VR}(Q_6;4);\\mathbb Q)\\cong\n\\begin{cases}\n\\mathbb Q^{239},&j=7,\\\\\n\\mathbb Q^{14},&j=15,\\\\\n0,&j\\ne7,15,\n\\end{cases}\n\\]\nand state that the Betti numbers over \\(\\mathbb F_2\\) are the same. The universal coefficient theorem gives\n\\[\n\\dim_{\\mathbb F_2}H_j(K;\\mathbb F_2)\n=b_j(K;\\mathbb Q)+t_j+t_{j-1},\n\\]\nwhere \\(t_i\\) is the number of cyclic 2-primary summands of \\(H_i(K;\\mathbb Z)\\). Equality of the rational and mod-two Betti numbers in every degree forces every \\(t_i\\) to vanish.\n\nThe exact deletion-contraction replay supplies a separate Euler check. Its complete face count gives \\(\\widetilde\\chi=-253\\), agreeing with \\(-239-14\\). It also finds 2,932,100,733 faces including the empty face and maximum face cardinality 22.\n\nThis settles the prime 2 part at \\(n=6\\). The checked sources and computations supply no Smith certificate or odd-characteristic rank table that excludes odd-primary torsion. The canonical universal question therefore remains open.",
