It is shown that for any locally knotted edge of a 3-connected graph in $S^3$, there is a ball that contains all of the local knots of that edge and is unique up to an isotopy setwise fixing the graph. This result is applied to the study of…

We prove two conjectures in spectral extremal graph theory involving the linear combinations of graph eigenvalues. Let $\lambda_1(G)$ be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G$, and $\bar{G}$ be the complement of $G$.…

We say that a graph is intrinsically knotted or completely 3-linked if every embedding of the graph into the 3-sphere contains a nontrivial knot or a 3-component link any of whose 2-component sublink is nonsplittable. We show that a graph…

A graph is "$H$-free" if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. A conjecture of Conlon, Fox and Sudakov states that for every graph $H$, there exists $s>0$ such that in every $H$-free graph with $n>1$ vertices, either some vertex has…

In this paper, a proof of the cycle double cover conjecture is presented. The cycle double cover conjecture purports that if a graph is bridgeless, then there exists a list of cycles in the graph such that every edge in the graph appears in…

Every link in R^3 can be represented by a one-vertex ribbon graph. We prove a Markov type theorem on this subset of link diagrams.

There is empirical evidence supporting the claim that almost all cubic non-Hamiltonian graphs are bridge graphs. In this paper, we pose a related conjecture and prove that the original claim holds for non-3-connected graphs if the…

In 1983 Conway and Gordon proved that any embedding of the complete graph $K_7$ into $\mathbb{R}^3$ contains at least one nontrivial knot as its Hamiltonian cycle. After their work knots (also links) are considered as intrinsic properties…

We consider embeddings between infinite graphs. In particular, We establish that there is no universal element in the class of countable graphs into which the random graph is not embeddable.

Hoffmann-Ostenhof's Conjecture states that states that the edge set of every connected cubic graph can be decomposed into a spanning tree, a matching and a $2$-regular subgraph. In this paper, we show that the conjecture holds for claw-free…

We show that every $n$-vertex planar graph admits a simultaneous embedding with no mapping and with fixed edges with any $(n/2)$-vertex planar graph. In order to achieve this result, we prove that every $n$-vertex plane graph has an induced…

The Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture states that every graph with average degree exceeding $k-1$ contains every tree with $k$ edges as a subgraph. We prove that there are $\delta>0$ and $k_0\in\mathbb N$ such that the conjecture holds for every…

We propose to generalize the volume conjecture to knotted trivalent graphs and we prove the conjecture for all augmented knotted trivalent graphs. As a corollary we find that for any link L there is a link containing L for which the volume…

We prove that, for every $k=1,2,...,$ every shortest-path metric on a graph of pathwidth $k$ embeds into a distribution over random trees with distortion at most $c$ for some $c=c(k)$. A well-known conjecture of Gupta, Newman, Rabinovich,…
