讲座内容:

We shall discuss certainstructural properties of the Cartesian product of the 1-skeleton of a 3-polytopewith K2, i.e. its prism. We will generally use graph-theoretical notation butframe our results

in polytopal terminology,since many problems were originally formulated thusly. When we here speak of ad-polytope (i.e. a d-dimensional polytope), we are always referring to its1-skeleton. We recall that 3-polytopes have been characterised by Steinitz andcoincide with planar 3-connected graphs, and that by a theorem of Balinski,every d-polytope is d-connected. In 1973, Rosenfeld and Barnette conjectured thatevery 3-polytope has a hamiltonian prism. Almost half a century later, Špacapandisproved this conjecture. However, in his counterexamples the maximum degreeincreases with the graphs’ order.In this talk we shall address this issue andpresent several strengthenings of Špacapan’s main theorem.
