Weinberger's contractibility conjecture for preferential attachment clique complexes
Weinberger's contractibility conjecture for preferential attachment clique complexes
Let be the clique complex of the graph obtained by adding one node and preferential-attachment edges at each time , where is slowly growing. Weinberger's contractibility conjecture. The complex
is contractible. This conjecture concerns whether all holes are eventually filled in a preferential attachment process whose number of newly added edges grows slowly; the source attributes it to Weinberger and gives no resolution.
