Connectivity conjecture for local dimer dynamics in three dimensions

Let n\mathbf{n} be a 33-dimensional shape, and let D3(Qn3)\mathcal{D}_3(\mathbb{Q}_{\mathbf{n}}^3) denote the graph of dimer configurations on Qn3\mathbb{Q}_{\mathbf{n}}^3 connected by local moves of length at most 33. Connectivity conjecture. For all 33-dimensional shapes n\mathbf{n}, the graph D3(Qn3)\mathcal{D}_3(\mathbb{Q}_{\mathbf{n}}^3) is connected. This conjecture asks whether local dimer dynamics using moves of length at most 33 can connect every dimer configuration in every three-dimensional shape. It was posed previously by Milet and Saldanha and reiterated by Freire, Klivans, Milet and Saldanha, and by Chandgotia, Sheffield and Wolfram; its status is not established in the supplied source.
