The GI-hardness conjecture for complementary subgraph partitioning on long-hole-free graphs

Let Ck6C_{k\geq 6}-free graphs be graphs containing no induced cycle of length at least 66. The problem \textscCompSub(PM)\textsc{Comp-Sub}(\mathcal{PM}) asks whether a graph has a complementary decomposition whose edge cut is a perfect matching.

GI-hardness conjecture. \textscCompSub(PM)\textsc{Comp-Sub}(\mathcal{PM}) is \GI\GI-hard on Ck6C_{k\geq 6}-free graphs.

The conjecture concerns the unresolved complexity gap for graphs with no induced cycle of length at least 66; the source establishes related results for other values of the forbidden-cycle threshold but leaves the case k=6k=6 open.
