The countable Erds-Menger conjecture with ends
نویسنده
چکیده
Erd˝ os conjectured that, given an infinite graph G and vertex sets A, B ⊆ V (G), there exist a set P of disjoint A–B paths in G and an A–B separator X 'on' P, in the sense that X consists of a choice of one vertex from each path in P. We prove, for countable graphs G, the extension of this conjecture in which A, B and X are allowed to contain ends as well as vertices, and where the closure of A avoids B and vice versa. (Without the closure condition the extended conjecture is false.)

The Erdős-Menger conjecture with ends in arbitrary graphs with countable separators
A well-known conjecture of Erdős states that, given an infinite graph G, and sets A,B ⊆ V (G), there exists a family of disjoint A–B paths P together with an A–B separator X consisting of a choice of one vertex from each path in P. There is a natural extension of this conjecture in which A, B and X may contain ends as well as vertices. We prove this extension for sets A and B that can be separa...

متن کاملThe Erdös-Menger conjecture for source/sink sets with disjoint closures
Erdős conjectured that, given an infinite graph G and vertex sets A,B ⊆ V (G), there exist a set P of disjoint A–B paths in G and an A–B separator X ‘on’ P, in the sense that X consists of a choice of one vertex from each path in P. We prove the conjecture for vertex sets A and B that have disjoint closures in the usual topology on graphs with ends. The result can be extended by allowing A, B a...
متن کاملMenger's Theorem for a Countable Source Set
Paul Erd} os has conjectured that Menger's theorem extends to innnite graphs in the following way: whenever A; B are two sets of vertices in an innnite graph, there exist a set of disjoint A{B paths and an A{B separator in this graph so that the separator consists of a choice of precisely one vertex from each of the paths. We prove this conjecture for graphs that contain a set of disjoint paths...
