Cyclic 5-connectivity conjecture for the T families

Let Tα1(m;a,a,c)T^1_\alpha(m;a,a,c), Tβ1(m;a,a,c)T^1_\beta(m;a,a,c), and Tα2(m;a,a,c)T^2_\alpha(m;a,a,c) be the snark families defined from the two triangle-destroying deletions of the Petersen-derived 5-pole. Cyclic 5-connectivity conjecture. If m/gcd(m,c)>4m/\gcd(m,c)>4, then the infinite families of snarks Tα1(m;a,a,c)T^1_\alpha(m;a,a,c) and Tβ1(m;a,a,c)T^1_\beta(m;a,a,c) are cyclically 5-connected. The text reports computational checks for several small cases, but no general proof is given.
