Zigzag structures of simplicial complexes of type {3,4}

From papers

Let K{\cal K} be a simplicial complex of type {3,4}\{3,4\}, meaning that every (d2)(d-2)-face is contained in 33 or 44 faces of dimension d1d-1. Let (P1,,Pt)(P_1,\ldots,P_t) be the corresponding partition of {1,,d}\{1,\ldots,d\}, and let lil_i denote zigzag lengths. Type-{3,4}\{3,4\} zigzag conjecture. The complex is not zz-uniform if and only if the part sizes are (d2,d2)(\frac d2,\frac d2) or all even, except for the simplex; in every non-zz-uniform case, gcd(l1,l2)=min(l1,l2)\gcd(l_1,l_2)=\min(l_1,l_2) for any two zigzag lengths. In the two specified extreme partitions, the maximum and minimum lengths are respectively d(d+2)2\frac{d(d+2)}2 and d+2d+2, or 3d3d and 3d2\frac{3d}2. For partition {1},{2,,d}\{1\},\{2,\ldots,d\}, the complex is BPyr(αd1)BPyr(\alpha_{d-1}). For partition {1},{2},,{d2},{d1,d}\{1\},\{2\},\ldots,\{d-2\},\{d-1,d\}, it has the stated orbit counts, zigzag length 6d6d, intersection vectors, and parity-dependent orbit sizes from the source. The supplied text gives no resolution.
