In this paper we prove the case dim(V3) = 3 of a conjecture from [6] about the exterior operad Λ S 2 V d . For this we introduce a collection of natural involutions on the set of homogeneous cycle-free d-partitions of the complete graph K 2d , and show that these involutions correspond to the relations in Λ S 2 V d (2d + 1). When d = 3 this correspondence allows us to give an explicit description of a determinant-like map and to settle the above mentioned conjecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
