Barnette Hamiltonicity conjecture

Proves that every finite simple cubic bipartite planar 3-vertex-connected graph has a Hamiltonian cycle, resolving Barnette's conjecture. Equivalently, every three-edge path in a finite simple cubic 3-vertex-connected bipartite Pfaffian graph lies in a Hamiltonian cycle.

Scope and what remains

Not the Caccetta–Häggkvist directed cycle-length conjecture.
