Lemma 55.5.12. Nonexistence of proper subgraphs of the form

\xymatrix{ \bullet \ar@{-}[r] & \bullet \ar@{-}[r] & \bullet \ar@{-}[r] \ar@{-}[d] & \bullet \ar@{-}[r] & \bullet \\ & & \bullet \ar@{-}[d] \\ & & \bullet }

Assume n > 7. There do not exist 7 distinct (-2)-indices f, g, h, i, j, k, l such that a_{fg}, a_{gh}, a_{ij}, a_{jh}, a_{kl}, a_{lh} are nonzero.

Proof. See discussion above. \square
