We prove Hadwiger's Conjecture for $\{\text{co-claw}, \text{co-gem}\}$-free graphs and $\{\text{fork}, \text{antifork}\}$-free graphs, where the co-claw is the disjoint union of a triangle and a vertex, the co-gem is the disjoint union of a…

A parallel minor is obtained from a graph by any sequence of edge contractions and parallel edge deletions. We prove that, for any positive integer k, every internally 4-connected graph of sufficiently high order contains a parallel minor…

In this paper, we are motivated by two conjectures proposed by C. Bender et al.\ in 2024, which have remained open questions. The first conjecture states that if the complemented zero-divisor graph \( G(S) \) of a commutative semigroup \( S…

Motivated by Wegner's conjecture on squares of planar graphs, Thomassen conjectured that every 3-connected cubic graph on at least eight vertices admits a red-blue vertex coloring in which the blue subgraph has maximum degree at most 1,…

We construct, for every $d \geq 3$, a $d$-regular acyclic measurably bipartite graphing that admits no measurable perfect matching, resolving a problem of Kechris and Marks. A dense variant of our construction yields a coupling of two…

We prove that the ordered configuration spaces of planar graphs have the highest possible topological complexity generically, as predicted by a conjecture of Farber. Our argument establishes the same generic maximality for all higher…

A long-standing Conjecture of S. Negami states that a connected graph has a finite planar cover if and only if it embeds in the projective plane. It is known that the Conjecture is equivalent to the fact that \emph{the graph $K_{1,2, 2, 2}$…

The List Hadwiger Conjecture asserts that every $K_t$-minor-free graph is $t$-choosable. We disprove this conjecture by constructing a $K_{3t+2}$-minor-free graph that is not $4t$-choosable for every integer $t\geq 1$.

Let COLk be the set of all k-colorable graphs. It is easy to show that if a<b then COLa \le COLb (poly time reduction). Using the Cook-Levin theorem it is easy to show that if 3 \le a< b then COLb \le COLa. However this proof is insane in…

Brouwer's Conjecture states that, for any graph $G$, the sum of the $k$ largest (combinatorial) Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$ is at most $|E(G)| + \binom{k+1}{2}$, $1 \leq k \leq n$. We present several interrelated results establishing…
