==The dekany== | |||
The standard 2)5 dekany is a [[Combination product sets|combination product set]], Cps([2,3,5,7,11], 2). It consists of ten notes associated to two-element subset of the set of the first five primes, {2,3,5,7,11}, and in one mode is 12/11-5/4-14/11-15/11-3/2-35/22-7/4-20/11-21/11, which we will take as its notes from note 0 to note 9. It has 30 edges, with connectivities 5 ≤ 6 ≤ 6, and the largest element of the Laplace spectrum is 8, so that the complementary graph is also connected. Its radius and diameter are both 2. | |||
The automorphism group is S5, the symmetric group of order 120 on a set of five points, which in this case are the five prime numbers to 11. Any permutation acts faithfully on the notes of the dekany, inducing the transitive permutation representation called 10T13 of S5 on ten points. The dekany has five maximal 4-cliques (tetrads) and ten maximal 3-cliques (triads), and S5 acts faithfully on these also.</pre></div> | |||

If we say 1-9/8-5/4-4/3-3/2-5/3-15/8-2 is a scale, we mean that each step of it represents a class of octave-equivalent pitches, so that &quot;5/4&quot; represents {...5/8, 5/4, 5/2, 5, 10 ...} and both &quot;1&quot; and &quot;2&quot; mean {...1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4...}. Suppose we have a finite set of pitches C strictly within the octave, so that s∊C entails 1 &lt; s &lt; 2, and suppose if s∊C then also 2/s∊C.

The edges leading from the four outer vertices wrap around to the opposite side, creating the torus embedding. On the other hand, a tetrad is of genus 0, since it can be drawn on a sphere as the verticies of a tetrahedron.<br /> | The edges leading from the four outer vertices wrap around to the opposite side, creating the torus embedding.

The Zarlino scale, or &quot;just diatonic&quot; as it's often called, is the scale 1-9/8-5/4-4/3-3/2-5/3-15/8-2, with three major and two minor triads. It has a characteristic polynomial x(x+1)(x^2-3)(x^3-x^2-7*x-3) = x^7 - 11x^5 - 10x^4 + 21x^3 + 30x^2 + 9x. From the coefficients of this we can read off that it has 11 dyads and 5 triads, and from the roots, we find that its automorphism group is an elementary 2-group--in fact, it is of order 2, with the nontrivial automorphism being inversion. The three connectivities, algebraic, vertex, and edge, are 0.914 ≤ 2 ≤ 2. The scales radius is 2 and its diameter is 3. Its genus, of course, is 0, but less obviously its maximal genus is 2.<br /> | The Zarlino scale, or &quot;just diatonic&quot; as it's often called, is the scale 1-9/8-5/4-4/3-3/2-5/3-15/8-2, with three major and two minor triads.
