Self-converse classification conjecture for entropic Mendelsohn triple systems

Let MM be a finite abelian group, and let Lin(M,R)\emph{Lin}(M,R) be a Mendelsohn triple system. A Mendelsohn triple system is self-converse when it is isomorphic to its converse, obtained by reversing the directed triples.

Self-converse classification conjecture. The system Lin(M,R)\emph{Lin}(M,R) is self-converse if and only if no prime dividing the order of MM is congruent to 11 modulo 33.

This conjecture seeks a complete characterization of self-converse entropic Mendelsohn triple systems. The corresponding statement for DNR Mendelsohn triple systems is proved in the source; the general entropic case is presented as conjectural and is implied by the preceding odd-power classification conjecture.
