Generalized Spectral Closedness and the Nonexistence of Walk-Realizable Supporters for Split Graphs

Abstract

Let $\mathcal{F}=\{2K_2,C_4,C_5\}$, so that $\mathrm{Forb}(\mathcal{F})$ is the class of split graphs. Resolving a conjecture of Wang and Tang, we prove that the class of split graphs is generalized spectrally closed and that it admits no walk-realizable $\mathcal{F}$-supporter of any finite order.
