The dihedral 2-flow conjecture for 3-edge-colorable cubic graphs
Let be a -edge-colorable cubic graph. An embedding of in a surface is an embedding whose genus is the genus of , and a nowhere-identity dihedral -flow is a flow with values in the dihedral group of order such that no edge receives the identity element. Dihedral 2-flow conjecture. For every -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 -flow. Confirmation would imply a positive answer to whether every planar cubic graph has a nowhere-identity dihedral -flow; the source gives no resolution of this conjecture.
