Abstract

We partition the set of Latin squares of order n in four classes characterized by the values + +, + -, - +, and - - of a bidimensional analog of the sign of a permutation. While for odd orders the four classes are equicardinal, for n = 2, 4, 6, 8, with the help of the computer, we verify a conjecture of limited equicardinality.
