Abreu–Diwan–Jackson–Labbate–Schwenk's constituent classification conjecture for pseudo 2-factor isomorphic graphs

From papers

A graph is pseudo 2-factor isomorphic if all of its 2-factors have the same parity of number of cycles. A cubic graph is essentially 4-edge-connected if it has no non-trivial 3-edge-cuts. Let GG be an essentially 4-edge-connected pseudo 2-factor isomorphic cubic bipartite graph.

Abreu–Diwan–Jackson–Labbate–Schwenk's conjecture. GG must be K3,3K_{3,3}, the Heawood graph or the Pappus graph.

The conjecture is the essentially 4-edge-connected case of the broader classification conjecture. It was refuted by a computer-search counterexample constructed by Goedgebeur, and consequently the broader conjecture was refuted as well.
