A counterexample to the Bollob\'as-Riordan conjectures on sparse graph limits
Abstract
Bollob\'as and Riordan, in their paper "Metrics for sparse graphs," proposed a number of provocative conjectures extending central results of quasirandom graphs and graph limits to sparse graphs. We refute these conjectures by exhibiting a sequence of graphs with convergent normalized subgraph densities (and pseudorandom C4-counts), but with no limit expressible as a kernel.
