Counterexamples to two conjectures on modular edge colorings of graphs

For an integer $k\geq2$, let $\chi_k'(G)$ denote the minimum number of colors in an edge-coloring of a graph $G$ such that every nonzero degree in each color subgraph is congruent to $1\pmod{k}$. A graph is a $0_k$-graph if every vertex degree is divisible by $k$. We disprove a conjecture of Berthe et al.\ (On modular...
