The dihedral 2-flow conjecture for 3-edge-colorable cubic graphs

About 9 years old · traced to

Let Γ\Gamma be a 33-edge-colorable cubic graph. An embedding of Γ\Gamma in a surface is an embedding whose genus is the genus of Γ\Gamma, and a nowhere-identity dihedral 22-flow is a flow with values in the dihedral group of order 44 such that no edge receives the identity element. Dihedral 2-flow conjecture. For every 33-edge-colorable cubic graph, there exists an embedding in a surface of its own genus, with respect to which it has a nowhere-identity dihedral 22-flow. Confirmation would imply a positive answer to whether every planar cubic graph has a nowhere-identity dihedral 33-flow; the source gives no resolution of this conjecture.
