Intrinsically triple-linked graphs in RP^3

Abstract

Flapan--Naimi--Pommersheim showed that every spatial embedding of K10K_{10}, the complete graph on ten vertices, contains a non-split three-component link; that is, K10K_{10} is intrinsically triple-linked in R3\mathbb{R}^3. The work of Bowlin--Foisy and Flapan--Foisy--Naimi--Pommersheim extended the list of known intrinsically triple-linked graphs in R3\mathbb{R}^3 to include several other families of graphs. In this paper, we will show that while some of these graphs can be embedded 3-linklessly in RP3\mathbb{R}P^3, K10K_{10} is intrinsically triple-linked in RP3\mathbb{R}P^3.
