Polylogarithmic Bounds for Nested Cycles without Geometric Crossings

组合数学 2026-05-22 v1

摘要

A problem of Erd\H{o}s asks for extremal conditions forcing edge-disjoint cycles with a prescribed nested structure. In the geometric version, the nesting is required to be noncrossing with respect to the cyclic orders. Fern\'andez, Kim, Kim and Liu proved that constant average degree forces two such cycles. We prove a polylogarithmic bound for the natural multi-layer version: for every fixed k3k\ge 3, every sufficiently large nn-vertex graph with at least Ckn(logn)k1(loglogn)k3 C_k n(\log n)^{k-1}(\log\log n)^{k-3} edges contains kk pairwise edge-disjoint nested cycles without geometric crossings. The proof combines the robust sublinear expander framework of Alon, Buci\'c, Sauermann, Zakharov and Zamir with a controlled wrapping lemma that permits the layers to be built successively with controlled length.
