Immersion in four-edge-connected graphs

Combinatorics 2013-08-06 v1 Discrete Mathematics

Abstract

Fix g>1. Every graph of large enough tree-width contains a g x g grid as a minor; but here we prove that every four-edge-connected graph of large enough tree-width contains a g x g grid as an immersion (and hence contains any fixed graph with maximum degree at most four as an immersion). This result has a number of applications.
