Jordán and Garamvölgyi's separator conjecture for globally linked pairs

About 3 years old · traced to

Let G=G1∪G2G=G_1\cup G_2, where ∣V(G1)∩V(G2)∣≤d+1|V(G_1)\cap V(G_2)|\leq d+1, and let u,v∈V(G1)∩V(G2)u,v\in V(G_1)\cap V(G_2). A pair is Rd\mathcal{R}_d-linked when it is contained in an Rd\mathcal{R}_d-circuit. Jordán and Garamvölgyi's separator conjecture. If {u,v}\{u,v\} is Rd\mathcal{R}_d-linked in both G1G_1 and G2G_2, then {u,v}\{u,v\} is globally linked in GG in Rd\mathbb{R}^d. The conjecture concerns how global linkage behaves under unions with small separators and remains unresolved in the source.
