How to build a pillar: A proof of Thomassen's conjecture
Carsten Thomassen in 1989 conjectured that if a graph has minimum degree much more than the number of atoms in the universe (), then it contains a pillar, which is a graph that consists of two vertex-disjoint cycles of the same length, s say, along with s vertex-disjoint paths of the same length3 which connect matching vertices in order around the cycles. Despite the simplicity of the structure of pillars and various developments of powerful embedding methods for paths and cycles in the past three decades, this innocent looking conjecture has seen no progress to date. In this paper, we give a proof of this conjecture by building a pillar (algorithmically) in sublinear expanders.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
