The Complement Problem for Linklessly Embeddable Graphs

Geometric Topology 2022-08-18 v3

Abstract

We find all maximal linklessly embeddable graphs of order up to 11, and verify that for every graph GG of order 11 either GG or its complement cGcG is intrinsically linked. We give an example of a graph GG of order 11 such that both GG and cGcG are K6K_6-minor free. We provide minimal order examples of maximal linklessly embeddable graphs that are not triangular or not 3-connected. We prove a Nordhaus-Gaddum type conjecture on the Colin de Verdi\`ere invariant for graphs on at most 11 vertices. We give a description of the programs used in the search.
