Questions about the branch of combinatorics called graph theory (not to be used for questions concerning the graph of a function). This tag can be further specialized via using it in combination with more specialized tags such as extremal-graph-theory, spectral-graph-theory, algebraic-graph-theory, topological-graph-theory, random-graphs, graph-colorings and several others.

Is every positive integer the permanent of some 0-1 matrix?
The answer to the question is yes. Given $k$, the 0-1 matrix given by
$1$ $1$ $\dotsc$ $1$ $0$ $0$ $\dotsc$ $0$ $0$ $0$ $0$
$0$ $1$ $1$ $0$ $\dotsc$ $0$ $0$ $\dotsc$ $0$ $0$ $0$
$0$ $0$ $1$ $1$ $ …

Does there exist a graph with maximum degree 8, chromatic number 8, clique number 6?
Relevant footnotes to Fedor Petrov's nice, helpful, and completely correct answer.
Fedor's answer seems essentially unimprovable both in brevity and completeness (it's all there).
I hadn't expected …

Concepts in topology successfully transferred to graph theory and combinatorics with non-tri...
The question asks for concepts, not applications, so in a sense the example given in the OP isn't one.
Here are five quick examples:
(0) One could argue that girth is a transferral of the concept …

Graph automorphism group
Here is a complete answer.
The answer to Q1 is 'no, because $A_w=\{1,2\}$ and $A_s=\{1\}$'.
The answer to Q2 is 'no, $A_w$ contains merely two, while $A_s$ contains merely one element.
The answer to …

Hermann Weyl's work on combinatorial topology and Kirchhoff's current law in Spanish
This is a relevant comment on an answer given in this thread, which the comment boxes cannot conveniently accommodate.

Non-isomorphic graphs with bijective graph homomorphisms in both directions between them
Here are two partial answers:
EDIT: (the following is tentative; in light of Jeremy Rickards example, which is vertex-3-connected, and with which I cannot find anything wrong, something must be wron …

Number of non-equivalent graph embeddings
Ad 1. One notion of two embeddings being equivalent is "there exists an ambient isotopy carrying the image of one embedding onto the image of the other". Another, stronger, notion, more usual in the l …

Graph algebras a la Lovasz
Question 1. is, strictly speaking, ungrammatical, and vague in most interpretations. If by graph algebra you mean algebraic graph theory,
then the question is hopelessly broad. If by question 1. you …

Neighborhood fingerprint of a graph
Answer. Arguably the simplest infinite set of counterexamples to "Does the converse hold?" are provided by the Möbius ladder's vis-à-vis the prism graphs. Any pair of such graphs (of equal orders) bea …

Has the Total Coloring Conjecture been proved for complete graphs?
Yes, of course.
It is known and published for decades that
$n$ odd $\quad\vdash_{n:\omega}\quad$ $\chi''(K^n) = n$,
and
$n$ even $\quad\vdash_{n:\omega}\quad$ $\rightarrow$ $\chi''(K^n) …

Is there a "knot theory" for graphs?
It is somewhat surprising (to me) that what to me seems the simplest nontrivial example of theorems exactly fitting the question in the OP has not yet been mentioned in this thread: the embeddings of …
