Circle graphs are quadratically -bounded

James Davies, Rose McCarty

We prove that the chromatic number of a circle graph with clique number is at most .

Biclique decompositions from Welzl orders

Jean Cardinal, Rose McCarty, Yelena Yuditsky

A biclique decomposition of a graph is a partition of its edges into complete bipartite subgraphs. We consider graphs whose vertices can be ordered such that the neighborhood of ev…

Fat minors cannot be thinned (by quasi-isometries)

James Davies, Robert Hickingbotham, Freddie Illingworth +1

We disprove the conjecture of Georgakopoulos and Papasoglu that a length space (or graph) with no -fat minor is quasi-isometric to a graph with no minor. Our counterexam…

Prime and polynomial distances in colourings of the plane

James Davies, Rose McCarty, Michał Pilipczuk

We give two extensions of the recent theorem of the first author that the odd distance graph has unbounded chromatic number. The first is that for any non-constant polynomial w…

First-Order Model Checking on Monadically Stable Graph Classes

Jan Dreier, Ioannis Eleftheriadis, Nikolas Mählmann +3

A graph class is called monadically stable if one cannot interpret, in first-order logic, arbitrary large linear orders in colored graphs from . We prove…

The Extremal Function and Colin de Verdière Graph Parameter

Rose McCarty

We study the maximum number of edges in an vertex graph with Colin de Verdière parameter no more than . We conjecture that for every integer , if is a graph with at…
