The odd-prime-power torus packing conjecture

About 9 years old · traced to

Let kk be an odd prime power and let m≥1m\ge1. Let HH be an induced subgraph of the Cartesian power CkmC_k^m of the cycle CkC_k, with ∣V(H)∣|V(H)| dividing kmk^m. A perfect induced HH-packing is a collection of vertex-disjoint induced copies of HH covering every vertex of CknC_k^n.

Odd-prime-power torus packing conjecture. There exists n0n_0 such that, for all n≥n0n \ge n_0, CknC_k^n admits a perfect induced HH-packing.

The paper proves the analogous assertion for even kk and gives counterexamples when kk is odd and not a prime power. The odd-prime-power case is posed as the remaining natural case, and no resolution is supplied in the given text.
