Disproof of the tree product conjecture via the Heisenberg group

Freddie Illingworth, Sergey Norin, Raphael Steiner

Product structure theory aims to understand complex graphs by embedding them into products of simpler graphs. In this direction, Campbell, Distel, Gollin, Harvey, Hendrey, Hickingb…

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 le…

Defective coloring of blowups

Sergey Norin, Raphael Steiner

Given a graph and an integer , its -defective chromatic number is the smallest size of a partition of the vertices into parts inducing subgraphs with maximu…

Strong parity edge-colorings of graphs

Peter Bradshaw, Sergey Norin, Douglas B. West

An edge-coloring of a graph assigns a color to each edge of . An edge-coloring is a parity edge-coloring if for each path in , it uses some color on an odd number of…

Twin-width of sparse random graphs

Kevin Hendrey, Sergey Norin, Raphael Steiner +1

We show that the twin-width of every -vertex -regular graph is at most and that almost all -regular graphs attain this bound. More generally, w…

On an induced version of Menger's theorem

Kevin Hendrey, Sergey Norin, Raphael Steiner +1

We prove Menger-type results in which the obtained paths are pairwise non-adjacent, both for graphs of bounded maximum degree and, more generally, for graphs excluding a topologica…
