A maximally linkless graph is a graph that can be embedded in without any links, but cannot be embedded in such a way if any other edge is added to the graph. Recently, a family of maximally linkless graphs was found with edges. We improve upon this by demonstrating a new family of maximally lin…

We announce results about flat (linkless) embeddings of graphs in 3-space. A piecewise-linear embedding of a graph in 3-space is called {\it flat} if every circuit of the graph bounds a disk disjoint from the rest of the graph. We have shown: (i) An embedding is flat if and only if the fundamental group of the compleme…

result The Colin de Verdière invariant of the complement of a maximal non-separating planar graph satisfies μ(cG) ≤ n-4, and equality holds.

result For graphs of order 11, either the graph or its complement is intrinsically linked.
We consider intrinsic linking and knotting in the context of directed graphs. We construct an example of a directed graph that contains a consistently oriented knotted cycle in every embedding. We also construct examples of intrinsically 3-linked and 4-linked directed graphs. We introduce two operations, consistent edg…

result Prove 78 graphs of Heawood family are excluded minors for 4-flat graphs.
The dominant graph neural networks (GNNs) over-rely on the graph links, several serious performance problems with which have been witnessed already, e.g., suspended animation problem and over-smoothing problem. What's more, the inherently inter-connected nature precludes parallelization within the graph, which becomes …
We review a cochain-free treatment of the classical van Kampen obstruction θto embeddability of an n-polyhedron into R^{2n} and consider several analogues and generalizations of θ, including an extraordinary lift of θwhich in the manifold case has been studied by J.-P. Dax. The following results are obtained. - The mod…
