Shellability conjecture for k-cut complexes of hexagonal line tilings

Let kk be one of 44, 55, or 66, and let HH be a hexagonal line tiling. Consider the kk-cut complex of HH.

Hexagonal line tiling shellability conjecture. For k=4,5,k=4,5, and 66, the kk-cut complex of the hexagonal line tiling is shellable.

The conjecture is motivated by computational experiments using SageMath, which suggest that the behavior proved in the paper for 33-cut complexes persists for these higher values of kk. No resolution is given in the supplied source.
