The cap-induced factorization conjecture for even-dimensional projective spaces

An MM-cap in PG(n,q)\mathrm{PG}(n,q) is a set of MM points with no three collinear. By Ebert's theorem, if n2n\geq 2 is even, then PG(2n1,q)\mathrm{PG}(2n-1,q) can be partitioned into disjoint MM-caps, where M=qn+1M=q^n+1. Cap-induced factorization conjecture. There exists an (M1)(M-1)-factorization of λKv\lambda K_v, where v=q2n1q1v=\tfrac{q^{2n}-1}{q-1}, for some λ\lambda induced by this set of MM-caps, when n2n\geq 2 is even. This is a proposed construction of graph factorizations from cap partitions in finite projective spaces; the source does not provide a resolution.
