Alternation conjecture for non-negatively curved odd GKM3_3 manifolds

From papers

Let M2n+1M^{2n+1} be a closed, non-negatively curved odd-dimensional GKM3_3 manifold admitting an invariant almost contact structure. Its corresponding odd GKM3_3 graph is the graph associated with M2n+1M^{2n+1} in odd GKM theory.

Alternation conjecture. The odd GKM3_3 graph corresponding to M2n+1M^{2n+1} is alternating.

The preceding argument establishes the analogous conclusion for odd GKM4_4 manifolds. The conjecture proposes that the alternation property already follows under the weaker GKM3_3 hypothesis; the supplied text gives no resolution.
