The unavoidable arrangements of pseudocircles

Combinatorics 2018-08-21 v2

Abstract

It is known that cyclic arrangements are the only {\em unavoidable} simple arrangements of pseudolines: for each fixed m1m\ge 1, every sufficiently large simple arrangement of pseudolines has a cyclic subarrangement of size mm. In the same spirit, we show that there are three unavoidable arrangements of pseudocircles.
