Possible probability and irreducibility of balanced non-transitive dice
We construct irreducible balanced non-transitive sets of $n$-sided dice for any positive integer $n$, which was raised in \cite[Question 5.2]{SS17}. One main tool of the construction is to study so-called fair sets of dice. Furthermore, we also study the distribution of the probabilities of balanced...

Zusammenfassung: | We construct irreducible balanced non-transitive sets of $n$-sided dice for
any positive integer $n$, which was raised in \cite[Question 5.2]{SS17}. One
main tool of the construction is to study so-called fair sets of dice.
Furthermore, we also study the distribution of the probabilities of balanced
non-transitive sets of dice. For a lower bound, we show that the probability
could be arbitrarily close to $\frac{1}{2}$ and for a upper bound, we construct
a balanced non-transitive set of dice whose probability is $\frac{1}{2} +
\frac{13-\sqrt{153}}{24} \approx \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{9.12}.$ |
