Definition in terms of duads and synthemes

Consider a fixed set of size 6. Define the duads as the subsets of size 2 of this set. There are duads. Define the synthemes as the partitions of the set into triples of subsets of size 2. There are synthemes.

The Tutte-Coxeter graph is defined as follows:

  1. Its vertex set is the union of the set of duads and the set of synthemes
  2. Its edges are defined as follows: two vertices are adjacent if one of them is a duad, the other is a syntheme, and the duad is one of the three pieces in the partition described by the syntheme.

Alternate definitions

The Tutte-Coxeter graph can also be defined in the following equivalent ways:

  1. It is the Levi graph corresponding to the Cremona-Richmond configuration.
  2. It is the unique (up to graph isomorphism) (3,8)-cage.
