The perfect Martin sequence conjecture for cyclically 4-connected 3-regular graphs

About 3 years old · traced to

Let G1G_1 and G2G_2 be cyclically 44-connected 33-regular graphs with the same number of vertices, and let v1v_1 and v2v_2 be vertices whose deletion produces periods P(G1∖v1)\mathcal{P}(G_1\setminus v_1) and P(G2∖v2)\mathcal{P}(G_2\setminus v_2). Define the Martin sequence by

M⁡(G∙)=(M⁡(G[2]),M⁡(G[4]),M⁡(G[6]),…).\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G^{\bullet})=\left(\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G^{[2]}),\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G^{[4]}),\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G^{[6]}),\ldots\right).

Perfect Martin sequence conjecture.

P(G1∖v1)=P(G2∖v2)⟺M⁡(G1∙)=M⁡(G2∙).\mathcal{P}(G_1\setminus v_1)=\mathcal{P}(G_2\setminus v_2)\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G_1^{\bullet})=\operatorname{\mathsf{M}}(G_2^{\bullet}).

Available data is compatible with this purely combinatorial characterization of equal periods, but the general assertion remains unproved.
