Cichacz's 4-ZSPP conjecture for Abelian groups with more than one involution

Let Γ\Gamma be a finite Abelian group, and let I(Γ)I(\Gamma) denote its set of involutions. A finite Abelian group has 4-ZSPP if every integer partition of Γ1|\Gamma|-1 whose parts are all at least 44 can be realized by a partition of Γ=Γ{0}\Gamma^*=\Gamma\setminus\{0\} into zero-sum subsets of the corresponding sizes. Cichacz's 4-ZSPP conjecture. If I(Γ)>1|I(\Gamma)|>1, then Γ\Gamma has 33-ZSPP. The surrounding text records later results proving the stronger assertion that every such group has 44-ZSPP, so the stated conjecture is solved.
