For a group $\Gamma$, a $\Gamma$-labelled graph is an undirected graph $G$ where every orientation of an edge is assigned an element of $\Gamma$ so that opposite orientations of the same edge are assigned inverse elements. A path in $G$ is…

Let $\Gamma$ be an Abelian group. In this paper I characterize the $A$-paths of weight $0\in\Gamma$ that have the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property. Using this in an auxiliary graph, one can also easily characterize the $A$-paths of weight…

It is known that $A$-paths of length $0$ mod $m$ satisfy the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property if $m=2$ or $m=4$, but not if $m > 4$ is composite. We show that if $p$ is prime, then $A$-paths of length $0$ mod $p$ satisfy the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa…

We prove a refinement of the flat wall theorem of Robertson and Seymour to undirected group-labelled graphs $(G,\gamma)$ where $\gamma$ assigns to each edge of an undirected graph $G$ an element of an abelian group $\Gamma$. As a…

A doubly group-labeled graph is an oriented graph with its edges labeled by elements of the direct sum of two groups $\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2$. A cycle in a doubly group-labeled graph is $(\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2)$-non-zero if it is non-zero in both…

We investigate which classes of infinite graphs have the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property (EPP). In addition to the usual EPP, we also consider the following infinite variant of the EPP: a class $\mathcal{G}$ of graphs has the $\kappa$-EPP, where…

A Group Labeled Graph is a pair $(G,\Lambda)$ where $G$ is an oriented graph and $\Lambda$ is a mapping from the arcs of $G$ to elements of a group. A (not necessarily directed) cycle $C$ is called non-null if for any cyclic ordering of the…

Robertson and Seymour proved that the family of all graphs containing a fixed graph $H$ as a minor has the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property if and only if $H$ is planar. We show that this is no longer true for the edge version of the…

A key feature of Simonovits' proof of the classic Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa theorem is a simple subgraph of the host graph, a frame, that determines the outcome of the theorem. We transfer this frame technique to $A$-paths. With it we deduce a…

We introduce the vertex-arboricity of group-labelled graphs. For an abelian group $\Gamma$, a $\Gamma$-labelled graph is a graph whose edges are labelled by elements of $\Gamma$. For an abelian group $\Gamma$ and $A\subseteq \Gamma$, the…

In 1965, Erd\H{o}s and P\'{o}sa proved that there is an (approximate) duality between the maximum size of a packing of cycles and the minimum size of a vertex set hitting all cycles. Such a duality does not hold for odd cycles, and Dejter…

In 1986 Robertson and Seymour proved a generalization of the seminal result of Erd\H{o}s and P\'osa on the duality of packing and covering cycles: A graph has the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property for minors if and only if it is planar. In…

A class $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs has the induced Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property if there exists a function $f$ such that for every graph $G$ and every positive integer $k$, $G$ contains either $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint induced subgraphs that…

In a recent paper by a superset of the authors it was proved that for every primitive 3-constrained space $\Gamma$ of finite diameter $\delta$ from Cherlin's catalogue of metrically homogeneous graphs, there exists a finite family $\mathcal…

A $\Gamma$-labeled graph is an oriented graph with edges invertibly labeled by a group $\Gamma$. We prove a structure theorem for $\Gamma$-labeled graphs which forbid a fixed $\Gamma$-labeled graph as an immersion, for any finite $\Gamma$.…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group written additively with identity $0$, and $\Omega$ be an inverse closed generating subset of $G$ such that $0\notin \Omega$. We say that $ \Omega $ has the property \lq\lq{}$us$\rq\rq{} (unique summation),…

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…

Koberda proved that if a graph $\Gamma$ is a full subgraph of a curve graph $\mathcal{C}(S)$ of an orientable surface $S$, then the right-angled Artin group $A(\Gamma)$ on $\Gamma$ is a subgroup of the mapping class group ${\rm Mod}(S)$ of…

Let $D$ be a directed graphs with distinguished sets of sources $S\subseteq V(D)$ and sinks $T\subseteq V(D)$. A tripod in $D$ is a subgraph consisting of the union of two $S$-$T$-paths that have distinct start-vertices and the same…

Hefetz, M\"{u}tze, and Schwartz conjectured that every connected undirected graph admits an antimagic orientation. In this paper we support the analogous question for distance magic labeling. Let $\Gamma$ be an Abelian group of order $n$. A…
