Vanishing conjecture for higher path homology of circulant digraphs

Let CnS\vec{C}_n^S be the circulant digraph with connection set

S={1,γ1,,γd1},1<γ1<<γd1<n/2.S=\{1,\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_{d-1}\},\qquad 1<\gamma_1<\cdots<\gamma_{d-1}<n/2.

Higher path-homology vanishing conjecture. The path homology of CnS\vec{C}_n^S vanishes in every degree at least three:

Hmpath(CnS)=0for all m3.H_m^{\mathrm{path}}(\vec{C}_n^S)=0\qquad\text{for all }m\geq 3.

The authors report that their computations produce no nontrivial path homology in degrees greater than 22. The conjecture asserts that this pattern holds for all connection sets of the stated form; its general validity remains open.
