Intrinsically triple-linked graphs in $\mathbb{R}P^3$

Jared Federman, Joel Foisy, Kristin McNamara and Emily Stark

Vol. 10 (2017), No. 1, 1–20
Abstract

Flapan, Naimi and Pommersheim (2001) showed that every spatial embedding of K10, the complete graph on ten vertices, contains a nonsplit three-component link; that is, K10 is intrinsically triple-linked in 3. The work of Bowlin and Foisy (2004) and Flapan, Foisy, Naimi, and Pommersheim (2001) extended the list of known intrinsically triple-linked graphs in 3 to include several other families of graphs. In this paper, we will show that while some of these graphs can be embedded 3-linklessly in P3, the graph K10 is intrinsically triple-linked in P3.
