An Erdős-Pósa theorem for cycles and faces of distinct lengths

J. Pascal Gollin, Maximilian Gorsky, Meike Hatzel +6

We show that for every , every graph contains vertex-disjoint cycles of different lengths, or there exists a set with $|X| \in \mathcal…

A structural duality for path-decompositions into parts of small radius

Sandra Albrechtsen, Reinhard Diestel, Ann-Kathrin Elm +4

It is an easy observation that if a graph~ admits a path-decomposition whose parts have small radius, then contains no large subdivision of or as a (quasi-)g…

The structure of group-labeled graphs forbidding an immersion

Rose McCarty, Caleb McFarland, Paul Wollan

A -labeled graph is an oriented graph with edges invertibly labeled by a group . We prove a structure theorem for -labeled graphs which forbid a fixed -labeled grap…

A characterisation of graphs quasi-isometric to -minor-free graphs

Sandra Albrechtsen, Raphael W. Jacobs, Paul Knappe +1

We prove that there is a function such that every graph with no -fat minor is -quasi-isometric to a graph with no minor. This solves the -case of a ge…

Small hitting sets for longest paths and cycles

Sergey Norin, Raphael Steiner, Stephan Thomassé +1

Motivated by an old question of Gallai (1966) on the intersection of longest paths in a graph and the well-known conjectures of Lovász (1969) and Thomassen (1978) on the maximum l…

A grid theorem for strong immersions of walls

Reinhard Diestel, Raphael W. Jacobs, Paul Knappe +1

We show that a graph contains a large wall as a strong immersion minor if and only if the graph does not admit a tree-cut decomposition of small `width', which is measured in terms…
