Conjecture   Suppose that $ G $ is a $ \Delta $-edge-critical graph. Suppose that for each edge $ e $ of $ G $, there is a list $ L(e) $ of $ \Delta $ colors. Then $ G $ is $ L $-edge-colorable unless all lists are equal to each other.

(Reproduced from [M].)

A graph $ G $ is said to be $ \Delta $-edge-critical if it is not $ \Delta $-edge-colorable but every edge-deleted subgraph is $ \Delta $-edge-colorable. (Here $ \Delta $ is the maximum degree of $ G $.)
