Generalizations of Planar Graphs
This is a follow up to Harrison's question: why planar graphs are so exceptional. I would like to ask about (and collect answers to) various notions, in graph theory and beyond graph theory (topology; ...

Do planar graphs have an acyclic two-coloring?
A graph has an acyclic two-coloring if its vertices can be colored with two colors such that each color class spans a forest.
Does every planar graph have an acyclic two-coloring?
An affirmative ...

Has Plummer's open problem on the cyclic connectivity of planar graphs been solved?
$\DeclareMathOperator\cl{cl}$The cyclic edge connectivity $\cl(G)$ is the size of a smallest cyclic edge cut, i.e., a smallest edge cut $F$ such that $G-F$ has two connected components, each of which ...

Sharp upper bound of the number of edges for graphs of thickness two
A graph $G=(V,E)$ has thickness $2$ if $E$ can be written as a disjoint union $E=E_1\cup E_2$ so that $G_1:=(V,E_1),G_2:=(V,E_2)$ are planar graphs. For instance, $K_5$ has thickness $2$. It is known ...
