Havet–van den Heuvel–McDiarmid–Reed planar square list-coloring conjecture

From papers

Let GG be a planar graph. Havet–van den Heuvel–McDiarmid–Reed conjecture.

χ2(G)=χ2(G).\chi_{\ell}^2(G)=\chi^2(G).

The conjecture was disproved in 2022 by Hasanvand, although it remains open for graphs with maximum degree at least 44.
