    Treewidth is a graph parameter commonly used to quantify how "close" a graph is to a tree. Although it is a cornerstone of structural graph theory and algorithm design, it is nearly useless for algorithmic purposes in many dense graph classes. In this talk, we discuss the tree-independence number, a more versatile graph parameter that …

    We say a graph $G$ is $(2,m)$-linked if, for every choice of $m+2$ distinct vertices $a_1,\ldots,a_m,b_1,b_2$ in $G$, there exist two vertex-disjoint connected subgraphs $A$ and $B$ of $G$ such that $\{a_1,\ldots,a_m\}\subseteq V(A)$ and $\{b_1,b_2\}\subseteq V(B)$. A related notion is $k$-linkedness: a graph is $k$-linked if, for any distinct vertices $s_1,\ldots,s_k,t_1,\ldots,t_k$, it contains $k$ pairwise …
