Minimal Cayley graphs with large chromatic number

James Davies, Meike Hatzel, Liana Yepremyan

Resolving Babai's minimal Cayley graph problem, we construct finite minimal Cayley graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic number.

A directed flat wall theorem excluding a crossrow grid

Meike Hatzel, Ken-ichi Kawarabayashi, Stephan Kreutzer +1

The graph minor project contains the most influential results in recent undirected graph theory research. There has been progress in recent years in generalising some of their resu…

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…

Bounds on treewidth via excluding disjoint unions of cycles

Meike Hatzel, Chun-Hung Liu, Bruce Reed +1

One of the fundamental results in graph minor theory is that for every planar graph~, there is a minimum integer~ such that graphs with no minor isomorphic to~ have tre…

Cycles of Well-Linked Sets I: an Elementary Bound for Directed Cycle Packing

Meike Hatzel, Stephan Kreutzer, Marcelo Garlet Milani +1

In 1996, Reed, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas [Combinatorica 1996] proved Younger's Conjecture, which states that, for all directed graphs , there exists a function such that…

Cycles of Well-Linked Sets II: an Elementary Bound for the Directed Grid Theorem

Meike Hatzel, Stephan Kreutzer, Marcelo Garlet Milani +1

In 2015, Kawarabayashi and Kreutzer proved the Directed Grid Theorem - the generalisation of the well-known Excluded Grid Theorem to directed graphs - confirming a conjecture by Re…
