Motivated by the problem of testing planarity and related properties, we study the problem of designing efficient {\em partition oracles}. A {\em partition oracle} is a procedure that, given access to the incidence lists representation of a…

We show that a finitely presented group virtually admits a planar Cayley graph if and only if it is asymptotically minor-excluded, partially answering a conjecture of Georgakopoulos and Papasoglu in the affirmative.

A fundamental result in structural graph theory states that every graph with large average degree contains a large complete graph as a minor. We prove this result with the extra property that the minor is small with respect to the order of…

We introduce a new variant of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture designed to tackle coarsely disconnected metric spaces called the boundary coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. We prove this conjecture for many coarsely disconnected spaces that…

In this paper, we introduce a functional and a geometric setting for an obstacle problem for nonlocal minimal graphs. In particular we study existence of solutions, a priori estimates, and we prove the equivalence of the two settings. We…

We propose bipartite analogues of comparability and cocomparability graphs. Surprizingly, the two classes coincide. We call these bipartite graphs cocomparability bigraphs. We characterize cocomparability bigraphs in terms of vertex…

The Graph Reconstruction Conjecture famously posits that any undirected graph on at least three vertices is determined up to isomorphism by its family of (unlabeled) induced subgraphs. At present, the conjecture admits partial resolutions…

We prove that every locally finite quasi-transitive graph that does not contain $K_\infty$ as a minor is quasi-isometric to some planar quasi-transitive locally finite graph. This solves a problem of Esperet and Giocanti and improves their…

Given a hyperbolic surface, the set of all closed geodesics whose length is minimal form a graph on the surface, in fact a so-called fat graph, which we call the systolic graph. We study which fat graphs are systolic graphs for some surface…

Due to the ubiquity of graph data on the web, web graph mining has become a hot research spot. Nonetheless, the prevalence of large-scale web graphs in real applications poses significant challenges to storage, computational capacity and…

A nearly platonic graph is a k-regular simple planar graph in which all but a small number of the faces have the same degree. We show that it is impossible for a finite graph to have exactly one disparate face, and offer some conjectures,…

We show that finitely presented groups which admit $k$-planar Cayley graphs contain finite-index subgroups with planar Cayley graphs. More generally, we answer a question of Georgakopoulos and Papasoglu in the special case of coarsely…

The second author's $\omega$, $\Delta$, $\chi$ conjecture proposes that every graph satisties $\chi \leq \lceil \frac 12 (\Delta+1+\omega)\rceil$. In this paper we prove that the conjecture holds for all claw-free graphs. Our approach uses…

In this paper we discuss reconstruction problems for graphs. We develop some new ideas like isomorphic extension of isomorphic graphs, partitioning of vertex sets into sets of equivalent points, subdeck property, etc. and develop an…

We introduce shortcut graphs and groups. Shortcut graphs are graphs in which cycles cannot embed without metric distortion. Shortcut groups are groups which act properly and cocompactly on shortcut graphs. These notions unify a surprisingly…
