Recutting two terminal-side commutation pentagons #

Consider a counted forward pentagon and a counted reverse pentagon, both turning on their terminal side, with distinct initial sides. Their union is an L-shaped domain, which can also be cut along its other internal edge.

In both cases the two turn points lie in order on the hexagon, the resulting composite is counted, has the same weight as the pentagon pair, and has no hexagon--rectangle recut partner. Hence every counted off-diagonal pair of terminal-side pentagons is matched with exactly one unpaired hexagon composite of the same weight.

Recut two terminal-side pentagons when the first initial side lies strictly inside the second column interval. The second piece is a terminal-side hexagon containing both turns.

    Forgetting the two turns in the promoted composite gives the canonical rectangle recut.

    The promoted composite and the pentagon pair are the two cuts of the same domain.

    The hexagon in this recut turns on its terminal side.

    The recut of a counted terminal-side pentagon pair is a counted rectangle--hexagon composite for this order of the initial columns.

    Recutting this terminal-side pentagon pair preserves its polynomial weight, over any commutative semiring.

    The resulting counted composite is unpaired: its only rectangle recut consists of the two pentagons, each of which contains only one of the two turn points.

    The complementary branch #

      Forgetting the two turns in this composite gives the canonical rectangle recut.

      This composite and the pentagon pair are the two cuts of the same domain.

      The recut of a counted terminal-side pentagon pair is a counted hexagon--rectangle composite for this order of the initial columns.

      The matching #

      A counted pair of terminal-side pentagons, for an actual commutation and its reverse, with distinct initial sides has a unique unpaired hexagon-composite recut, and their polynomial weights agree.
