Back in the Eighties, Heath showed that every 3-planar graph is subhamiltonian and asked whether this result can be extended to a class of graphs of degree greater than three. In this paper we affirmatively answer this question for the…

We provide an optimal sufficient condition, relating minimum degree and bandwidth, for a graph to contain a spanning subdivision of the complete bipartite graph $K_{2,\ell}$. This includes the containment of Hamilton paths and cycles, and…

This paper concerns extension of maps using obstruction theory under a non classical viewpoint. It is given a classification of homotopy classes of maps and as an application it is presented a simple proof of a theorem by Adachi about…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite graph and let $\Gamma^{\mathrm{e}}$ be its extension graph. We inductively define a sequence $\{\Gamma_i\}$ of finite induced subgraphs of $\Gamma^{\mathrm{e}}$ through successive applications of an operation called…

We consider the problem of deciding whether an input graph G admits a topological embedding into a two-dimensional simplicial complex C. This problem includes, among others, the embeddability problem of a graph on a surface and the…

Let $G$ be a simple topological graph and let $\Gamma$ be a polyline drawing of $G$. We say that $\Gamma$ \emph{partially preserves the topology} of $G$ if it has the same external boundary, the same rotation system, and the same set of…

In this paper, we present a constructive and proof-relevant development of graph theory, including the notion of maps, their faces, and maps of graphs embedded in the sphere, in homotopy type theory. This allows us to provide an elementary…

Let $H$ be a fixed graph. What can be said about graphs $G$ that have no subgraph isomorphic to a subdivision of $H$? Grohe and Marx proved that such graphs $G$ satisfy a certain structure theorem that is not satisfied by graphs that…

In this note we give a short and elementary proof of a more general version of Whitney's theorem that 3-connected planar graphs have a unique embedding in the plane. A consequence of the theorem is that cubic plane graphs cannot be embedded…

Let $(X,\mathcal{E})$ be a hypergraph. A support is a graph $Q$ on $X$ such that for each $E\in\mathcal{E}$, the subgraph of $Q$ induced on the elements in $E$ is connected. We consider the problem of constructing a support for hypergraphs…

If a graph is in bridge position in a 3-manifold so that the graph complement is irreducible and boundary irreducible, we generalize a result of Bachman and Schleimer to prove that the complexity of a surface properly embedded in the…

We show that for a sufficiently simple surface $S$, a right-angled Artin group $A(\Gamma)$ embeds into $\Mod(S)$ if and only if $\Gamma$ embeds into the curve graph $\mC(S)$ as an induced subgraph. When $S$ is sufficiently complicated,…

For a finite graph $\Gamma$, let $G(\Gamma)$ be the right-angled Artin group defined by the complement graph of $\Gamma$. We show that, for any linear forest $\Lambda$ and any finite graph $\Gamma$, $G(\Lambda)$ can be embedded into…

A cornerstone of extremal graph theory due to Erd\H{o}s and Stone states that the edge density which guarantees a fixed graph $F$ as subgraph also asymptotically guarantees a blow-up of $F$ as subgraph. It is natural to ask whether this…

We determine all factorisations $X=AB$, where $X$ is a finite almost simple group and $A,B$ are core-free subgroups such that $A\cap B$ is cyclic or dihedral. As a main application, we classify the graphs $\Gamma$ admitting an almost simple…
