[#R394] The n=6 forbidden graph has total domination number 12
claim. The exact value gamma_t=12 improves the published degree-only connectivity certificate: the cited Chudnovsky-Meshulam total-domination theorem proves that VR(Q_6;4) is 4-connected.
1Summary
Under the graph reduction in this packet, \(\operatorname{VR}(Q_6;4)=I(G)\), where \(G\) is the 64-vertex graph \(Q_6\) with antipodal matching. The exact set-cover artifact proves \[ \gamma_t(G)=12. \] Theorem 2.3 quoted by Bendersky, Elia, and Grbić states that if \(\gamma_t(G)>2k\), then \(I(G)\) is \((k-1)\)-connected. Taking \(k=5\) gives 4-connectivity because \(12>10\).
This result proves integral homology vanishes through degree 4. It falls short of the degree-6 vanishing asserted elsewhere from a mod-two computation.
Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: total domination and the resulting integral connectivity lower bound for VR(Q_6;4).
