Geodetic circles generate the homology of locally finite graphs

About 17 years old · traced to

Let GG be a locally finite graph. Let Gℓ(G){\mathcal G}_{\ell}(G) denote the set of homology classes represented by geodetic circles, and let Hℓ(G){\mathcal H}_{\ell}(G) denote the corresponding homology group. Write ⟨Gℓ(G)⟩\langle{\mathcal G}_{\ell}(G)\rangle for the subgroup or span generated by these classes.

Geodetic-generation conjecture. One has

⟨Gℓ(G)⟩=Hℓ(G).\langle{\mathcal G}_{\ell}(G)\rangle={\mathcal H}_{\ell}(G).

This is the graph-theoretic generation claim underlying the continuum version discussed earlier. Its resolution is not supplied in the given text.
