Seymour's conjecture on 2-connected graphs of large pathwidth

Abstract

We prove the conjecture of Seymour (1993) that for every apex-forest H1 and outerplanar graph H2 there is an integer p such that every 2-connected graph of pathwidth at least p contains H1 or H2 as a minor. An independent proof was recently obtained by Dang and Thomas.
