  • Topics of the Lecture
    • - Title: An Introduction to Graph Theory

    • - Abstract: In this lecture, I aim to cover the proof of Kuratowski's theorem stating that a graph is planar if and only if it does not have a subdivision of K_3,3 or a subdivision of K_5 as a subgraph. For that, we will need to develop tools for 3-connected graphs. We will build necessary tools towards the proof of Kuratowski's theorem. After the proof, we will talk about its ultimate generalizations, called the graph minor theorem of Robertson and Seymour.
