Complete orbit counts for permutation surgery #
The orbit quotients count singleton cycles. Removing an isolated permutation point drops one orbit; removing a point from a longer cycle preserves its orbit. The identities retain the directed successor convention and serve face-cycle accounting for rotation surgery.
Adding a fixed permutation point adds one actual orbit, including when all old points are absent. The old nontrivial and singleton cycles are both retained.
Instances For
The additional singleton orbit is counted exactly once.
Removing a fixed point removes its one singleton orbit; it does not discard any other fixed points or faces.
Deleting a permutation point preserves the orbit relation on every retained pair, whether the deleted point was a singleton or belonged to a longer cycle.
Deletion commutes with swapping the outgoing successors of two retained points. The removed point is fixed by the swap, but may lie anywhere in the original permutation.
Deleting the extra point commutes with postcomposition by a permutation of the retained points. The extra point need not be fixed by the first permutation.
Deleting a point drops exactly its singleton orbit when it is fixed.
A permutation of retained points does not affect the number of singleton orbits lost by deleting the extra point. All counts use the full orbit quotient.
Swapping two distinct outgoing successors splits their common orbit into two, or merges their two different orbits. Singleton cycles are included.
Reversing the directed traversal of every orbit retains the full orbit quotient.
Swapping incoming successors has the same exact split/merge count as swapping outgoing successors. The orbit condition is evaluated in the original permutation.
The literal face successor after inserting the two edge ends. some none is the first
new end and none the second; the remaining points are old indexed darts.
Instances For
Deleting the second new end leaves the first inserted before k, in the permutation
whose incoming successors at h and k have been interchanged. This holds also for h=k.
The first inserted end is never a singleton face after deleting the second end.
Removing both inserted ends leaves precisely the incoming-successor swap.
Exact face count before distinguishing the equal-corner and two-corner cases.
Cofacial corners, including coincident corners, gain exactly one face.
Different face cycles merge, so the total face count decreases by one.
