A characterisation of all vertex-transitive finite graphs of connectivity < 5

Jan Kurkofka, Tim Planken

We characterise all vertex-transitive finite connected graphs as essentially 5-connected or on a short list of explicit graph-classes. Our proof heavily uses Tutte-type canonical d…

A Tutte-type canonical decomposition of 3- and 4-connected graphs

Jan Kurkofka, Tim Planken

We provide a unique decomposition of every 4-connected graph into parts that are either quasi-5-connected, cycles of triangle-torsos and 3-connected torsos on vertices, ge…

Canonical graph decompositions via local separations

Raphael W. Jacobs, Paul Knappe, Jan Kurkofka

Every finite graph can be decomposed in a canonical way that displays its local connectivity-structure [DJKK26]. These decompositions are defined via a suitable more tree-like…

Towards a Stallings-type theorem for finite groups

Johannes Carmesin, George Kontogeorgiou, Jan Kurkofka +1

A recent development in graph-minor theory is to study local separators, vertex-sets that separate graphs locally but not necessarily globally. The local separators of a graph roug…

On the edge-chromatic number of 2-complexes

Jan Kurkofka, Emily Nevinson

We propose an open question that seeks to generalise the Four Colour Theorem from two to three dimensions. As an appetiser, we show that 12 instead of four colours are both suffici…

Characterising 4-tangles through a connectivity property

Johannes Carmesin, Jan Kurkofka

Every large -connected graph-minor induces a -tangle in its ambient graph. The converse holds for , but fails for . This raises the question whether `-conn…
