Vanishing of cubical homology for graphs without triangles or quadrilaterals

Let GG be an undirected graph, and let Hn\normalfontCube(G)\mathcal{H}_n^{\normalfont {\textrm{Cube}}}(G) denote its nn-th cubical homology group. Suppose that GG contains no 33-cycles and no 44-cycles. Cubical vanishing conjecture. Then

Hn\normalfontCube(G)(0)\mathcal{H}_n^{\normalfont {\textrm{Cube}}}(G) \cong (0)

for n2n\ge 2. The analogous statement for path homology was proved immediately beforehand; the cubical version is supported only by limited computational evidence and remains open.
