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 a simply connected locally 2-connected complex a union of spheres and planes?

Let $X$ be a (potentially infinite) 2-dimensional simplicial complex. Then each link at a vertex $x\in X$ is a graph. Question. If $X$ is simply connected and each link is 2-connected (in the sense o …

Is this bipartite equivalent of 1-walk-regular graphs known?

A graph $G$ is 1-walk-regular if for each vertex $v$ the number of closed walks of length $\ell$ starting (and ending) at $v$ depends only on $\ell$ but not on $v$. for each edge $vw$ the number of w …

Is there a "simplest" way to embed a graph in 3-space?

I consider embeddings of graphs into 3-space with edges embedded as arbitrary curves. In the simplest (non-trivial) case the graph $G$ is a cycle or union of cycles, in which case the embeddings can a …

Is the face lattice of the cube a polytope graph?

The face lattice of a convex polytope $P\subset\Bbb R^d$ is the partially ordered set whose elements are the faces of $P$ ordered by inclusion. We can turn it into a graph by considering its Hasse dia …

Do triple-linked graphs exist?

Lets say that a finite simple graph $G$ is (intrinsically) fully triple-linked if for each embedding of $G$ into $\Bbb R^3$ we can find three disjoint cycles $C_1,C_2,C_3\subset G$ whose embeddings ar …

Given a 3-connected graph $G$, is there an edge $e$ so that both $G-e$ and $G/e$ are still 3...

Let $G$ be a 3-connected (simple) graph other than $K_4$. In Diestel's "Graph Theory" Section 3.2 we find Lemma 3.2.2. There is an edge $e$ so that $G\mathbin{\dot-}e$ is still 3-connected (where $G\ …

When does the ΔY-family of a simple graph contain multigraphs?

Given a graph $G$, its ΔY-family is the smallest family of graphs that contains $G$ and is closed under ΔY- and YΔ-transformations. Since YΔ-transformations can introduce multi-edges, the ΔY-family of …

Are there many self-complementary perfect graphs?

A graph is perfect if it has no induced subgraph that is either an odd cycle (other than a triangle) or a complement thereof (note that the class of perfect graphs is closed under graph complement). A …

Does the edge-graph of a centrally symmetric polytope determine which vertices are antipodal?

Given two origin symmetric convex polytopes $P_1$ and $P_2$ (that is $P_i=-P_i$) with the same edge-graph, but potentially of different dimensions and combinatorial types. Let $\phi: G_{P_1}\to G_{P_2 …

Can a polytopal graph be "centrally symmetric" in more than one way?

Let $P,Q$ be two centrally symmetric convex polytopes, potentially of different dimensions and combinatorial type, but with the same edge-graph $G$. The central symmetry of $P$ induces an involutory a …

How to construct 4-regular graphs with few Hamiltonian decompositions?

A Hamiltonian decomposition of a finite simple graph is a partition of its edge set so that each partition class forms a Hamiltonian cycle. This is only possible if the graph is $2k$-regular. Interest …

Let $P\subset \Bbb R^n$ be an inscribed convex polytope, that is, all its vertices are on a common sphere of radius $r$. Let $G$ be the edge-graph of $P$. For convenience, assume $V(G)=\{1,\dotsc,s\}$ …

Embedding linklessly embeddable graphs without Borromean rings

A linklessly embeddable graph is a graph which can be embedded into $\Bbb R^3$ so that no two of its cycles are linked. For example, the Petersen graph is not such a graph. Now, I can think of another …

Can every involution of a symmetric directed graph be written as a power of another symmetry?

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a finite directed graph, and suppose that $D$ is vertex-transitive, $D$ is edge-transitive, and between any two vertices there is at most one edge, in particular, if $(v,w)\in A$ the …

Are zonotopes determined by their edge-graph?

General polytopes are not determined by their edge-graph (up to combinatorial equivalence). But I came accross the statement that zonotopes are determined in this way. Question: Is this true? And whe …
