Hamiltonicity of 3-arc graphs
An arc of a graph is an oriented edge and a 3-arc is a 4-tuple of
vertices such that both and are paths of length two. The
3-arc graph of a graph is defined to have vertices the arcs of such
that two arcs are adjacent if and only if is a 3-arc of
. In this paper we prove that any connected 3-arc graph is Hamiltonian, and
all iterative 3-arc graphs of any connected graph of minimum degree at least
three are Hamiltonian. As a consequence we obtain that if a vertex-transitive
graph is isomorphic to the 3-arc graph of a connected arc-transitive graph of
degree at least three, then it is Hamiltonian. This confirms the well known
conjecture, that all vertex-transitive graphs with finitely many exceptions are
Hamiltonian, for a large family of vertex-transitive graphs. We also prove that
if a graph with at least four vertices is Hamilton-connected, then so are its
iterative 3-arc graphs.Comment: in press Graphs and Combinatorics, 201

A History of Flips in Combinatorial Triangulations
Given two combinatorial triangulations, how many edge flips are necessary and
sufficient to convert one into the other? This question has occupied
researchers for over 75 years. We provide a comprehensive survey, including
full proofs, of the various attempts to answer it.Comment: Added a paragraph referencing earlier work in the vertex-labelled
setting that has implications for the unlabeled settin
Combinatorics
Combinatorics is a fundamental mathematical discipline which focuses on the study of discrete objects and their properties. The current workshop brought together researchers from diverse fields such as Extremal and Probabilistic Combinatorics, Discrete Geometry, Graph theory, Combiantorial Optimization and Algebraic Combinatorics for a fruitful interaction. New results, methods and developments and future challenges were discussed. This is a report on the meeting containing abstracts of the presentations and a summary of the problem session
