q=-1 relations between Kasteleyn cokernels and Smith forms

Let GG and GG' be the symmetry groups specified in the claim, and write MG(a,b,c)1M_G(a,b,c)_{-1} and AG(a,b,c)1A_G(a,b,c)_{-1} for the corresponding matrices specialized at q=1q=-1. Let Sm(N)\operatorname{Sm}(N) denote the Smith normal form of NN. q=1q=-1 cokernel conjecture. The following relations should hold:

Sm(AG(a,b,c))=Sm(MG(a,b,c)1)2\operatorname{Sm}(A_{G'}(a,b,c))=\operatorname{Sm}(M_G(a,b,c)_{-1})^2

when G=1G=\langle1\rangle or ρ\langle\rho\rangle and G=G,κG'=\langle G,\kappa\rangle;

cokerAG(a,b,c)1cokerMG(a,b,c)2\operatorname{coker} A_G(a,b,c)_{-1}\cong\operatorname{coker} M_{G'}(a,b,c)^{\oplus2}

when G=τG=\langle\tau\rangle or ρ,τ\langle\rho,\tau\rangle and G=κτG'=\langle\kappa\tau\rangle or ρ,κτ\langle\rho,\kappa\tau\rangle, respectively; and

cokerAG(a,b,c)cokerAG(a,b,c)1\operatorname{coker} A_{G'}(a,b,c)\cong\operatorname{coker} A'_G(a,b,c)_{-1}

when G=τG=\langle\tau\rangle or ρ,τ\langle\rho,\tau\rangle and G=G,κG'=\langle G,\kappa\rangle. This conjecture proposes a cokernel and Smith-form extension of Stembridge's q=1q=-1 phenomenon for symmetry classes of plane partitions. The source presents it as conjectural and gives no proof or resolution, so it remains open.
