[#R162] The literature supplies the framework and universal bound, with no exact n=11 table located

View evidenceOpen source ↗

1Summary

Kalai's theory identifies these complexes as rational 2-hypertrees; later work treats their enumeration and torsion growth, while the exact eleven-vertex maximum remains unlocated.

Kalai introduced rationally acyclic simplicial complexes and proved the torsion-weighted higher-dimensional version of Cayley's formula. In the present parameters, a full-rank selection of 45 triangle-boundary columns is a rational 2-hypertree. The same paper gives the universal torsion bound used above.

Linial and Peled restate the boundary-basis characterization and Kalai's torsion-weighted enumeration, then study unweighted enumeration and random constructions. Their work does not give a table of maximum torsion by vertex count. Newman studies the inverse problem of realizing prescribed torsion on few vertices. His concluding Question 3 asks for the largest torsion group realizable at fixed \(n\) and \(d\), and says the problem appears difficult even for small parameters.

Supported evidence. Recorded scope: a focused status audit for maximum first-homology torsion among eleven-vertex rational 2-hypertrees.

2Outcome

Evidence package: source only

A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.

Verification source: arxiv.org ↗, Nati Linial and Yuval Peled, Enumeration and randomized constructions of hypertrees, Definition 1.1 and Theorem 1.2; Andrew Newman, Small simplicial complexes with prescribed torsion in homology, Theorem 4 part 1 and Question 3

3Overview

The audit searched the exact parameter phrase, combinations of `11 vertices`, `2-hypertree`, `maximum torsion`, and determinant formulations. It also checked the cited hypertree and small-complex papers. No primary source settling this exact 45-face optimization was located. The value 74 should therefore be treated as a reproducible incumbent rather than a published optimum.
