On the tangle compactification of infinite graphs

Combinatorics 2019-08-28 v1 General Topology

Abstract

In finite graphs, finite-order tangles offer an abstract description of highly connected substructures. In infinite graphs, infinite-order tangles compactify the graphs in the same way the ends compactify connected locally finite graphs. Thus, the arising tangle compactification extends the well-known Freudenthal compactification from connected locally finite graphs to arbitrary infinite graphs. This Master's thesis investigates the tangle compactifcation.
