On nowhere-zero 3-flows in Cayley graphs on groups of order p2n
Abstract
We consider Tutte's $3$-flow conjecture in the class of Cayley graphs on groups G of order p2n, where p is a prime and n is square-free and coprime to p. The conjecture has been proved by J. Zhang and Z. Zhang in the case where n is a prime (Discrete Mathematics, 2023); and by the authors in the case where p=2 (arXiv:2603.24175). In this paper, we prove the conjecture in the case where p > 2 and either a Sylow p-subgroup or a Hall n-subgroup of G is a cyclic group.
