Tait's flyping conjecture for 4-regular graphs

نویسنده

  • Jörg Sawollek
چکیده

Tait’s flyping conjecture, stating that two reduced, alternating, prime link diagrams can be connected by a finite sequence of flypes, is extended to reduced, alternating, prime diagrams of 4-regular graphs in S. The proof of this version of the flyping conjecture is based on the fact that the equivalence classes with respect to ambient isotopy and rigid vertex isotopy of graph embeddings are identical on the class of diagrams considered.

The Tait Flyping Conjecture

We announce a proof of the Tait flyping conjecture; the confirmation of this conjecture renders almost trivial the problem of deciding whether two given alternating link diagrams represent equivalent links. The proof of the conjecture also shows that alternating links have no "hidden" symmetries. In the nineteenth century, the celebrated physicist and knot tabulator P. G. Tait proposed the foll...

Three-regular Subgraphs of Four-regular Graphs'

The Berge–Sauer conjecture (see [2, 3]) says that any simple (no multiple edges and loops) 4-regular graph contains a 3-regular subgraph. This conjecture was proved in [4, 6]. In [1, 2] the Chevalley–Warning theorem was used to extend this result to graphs with multiple edges, which are 4-regular plus an edge. Our main result, Theorem 2.2, presents the sufficient condition for a 4-regular graph...

-λ coloring of graphs and Conjecture Δ ^ 2

For a given graph G, the square of G, denoted by G2, is a graph with the vertex set V(G) such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance of these vertices in G is at most two. A graph G is called squared if there exists some graph H such that G= H2. A function f:V(G) {0,1,2…, k} is called a coloring of G if for every pair of vertices x,yV(G) with d(x,y)=1 we have |f(x)-f(y)|2 an...

ON NEW CLASSES OF MULTICONE GRAPHS DETERMINED BY THEIR SPECTRUMS

A multicone graph is defined to be join of a clique and a regular graph. A graph $ G $ is cospectral with graph $ H $ if their adjacency matrices have the same eigenvalues. A graph $ G $ is said to be determined by its spectrum or DS for short, if for any graph $ H $ with $ Spec(G)=Spec(H)$, we conclude that $ G $ is isomorphic to $ H $. In this paper, we present new classes of multicone graphs...

Disjoint cliques in regular graphs of degree seven and eight

This paper is motivated by Berge’s conjecture that every undirectefl regular graph, except the complement of a complete graph, has at least two disjoint maximal independent sets of vertices. By complementation this is equivalent to the conjecture that every incomplete regular graph has two or more disjoint cliques. In [l], we established this form of the conjecture for regular graphs of degree ...
