[#R385] The current sources leave odd-primary torsion open

View evidenceOpen source ↗

1Summary

A 2026-07-28 audit found field-valued homology, connectivity bounds, propagation results, and representation decompositions in proved ranges. It found no integral Smith computation or theorem deciding odd-primary torsion at scale four.

The audit searched the exact target and nearby formulations using `VR(Q_6;4) homology`, `hypercube Vietoris-Rips torsion`, `scale four integral homology`, folded-cube independence-complex terminology, and facet terminology. It checked the complete current versions of five primary sources.

Adamaszek and Adams prove the scale-two wedge-of-spheres theorem and list larger scales as open. Adams and Virk give homology lower bounds at every scale, publish the mod-two \(n=6,r=4\) table through degree 15, and retain the scale-four homotopy and collapse questions. Briggs, Feng, and Wells repeat that mod-two table, construct further nonzero field-valued classes, and leave the dimensions of nontrivial homology open. Bendersky, Elia, and Grbić give general connectivity and coconnectivity bounds, with the coefficient-scope concern recorded separately. Galetto, Montaño, and Wellner determine representation decompositions for \(r\leq3\) and \(r=n-1\); Appendix C.3 reports the rational \(n=6,r=4\) computation.

Supported evidence. Recorded scope: dated prior-art search for integral torsion in scale-four Vietoris-Rips complexes of binary hypercubes.

3Overview

No checked source computes integral Smith form at \((n,r)=(6,4)\), discusses torsion in this complex, or proves torsion-freeness for every \(n\). Search silence is recorded as a dated audit result rather than evidence of nonexistence.
