Graph Isomorphism for $(H_1,H_2)$-free Graphs: An Almost Complete Dichotomy

We resolve the computational complexity of Graph Isomorphism for classes of graphs characterized by two forbidden induced subgraphs $H_1$ and $H_2$ for all but six pairs $(H_1,H_2)$. Schweitzer had previously shown that the number of open cases was finite, but without specifying the open cases. Grohe and Schweitzer proved that Graph Isomorphism is polynomial-time solvable on graph classes of bounded clique-width. Our work combines known results such as these with new results. By exploiting a relationship between Graph Isomorphism and clique-width, we simultaneously reduce the number of open cases for boundedness of clique-width for $(H_1,H_2)$-free graphs to five.
