Unbounded-critical-point conjecture for non-planar Potts-model zeros

Consider a family of non-planar connected graphs Gn,LG_{n,L} with nn identical layers of width LL and periodic boundary conditions in the nn-direction, together with a curve v=f(Q)v=f(Q) in the (Q,v)(Q,v)-plane. Unbounded-critical-point conjecture. There exists such a graph family and curve for which the limiting zero set of the Potts-model partition function ZG(Q,v)Z_G(Q,v) satisfies the stated chromatic accumulation pattern, but with

limLQc(L)=.\lim_{L\to\infty}Q_c(L)=\infty.

This is proposed as the non-planar analogue of the planar sharp-bound construction and is not established in the source.
