Title
Retracts of strong products of graphs
Abstract
Let G and H be connected graphs and let G ∗ H be the strong product of G by H . We show that every retract R of G ∗ H is of the form R=G′∗H′ , where G ′ is a subgraph of G and H ′ one of H . For triangle-free graphs G and H both G ′ and H ′ are retracts of G and H , respectively. Furthermore, a product of finitely many finite, triangle-free graphs is retract-rigid if and only if all factors are retract-rigid and it is rigid if and only if all factors are rigid and pairwise non-isomorphic.
