Construction of 2-factors in the middle layer of the discrete cube

Define the middle layer graph as the graph whose vertex set consists of all bitstrings of length $2n+1$ that have exactly $n$ or $n+1$ entries equal to 1, with an edge between any two vertices for which the corresponding bitstrings differ in exactly one bit. In this work we present an inductive construction of a large family of 2-factors in the middle layer graph for all $n\geq 1$. We also investigate how the choice of certain parameters used in the construction affects the number and lengths of the cycles in the resulting 2-factor.
