Title
Nowhere Dense Graph Classes and Dimension.
Abstract
Nowhere dense graph classes provide one of the least restrictive notions of sparsity for graphs. Several equivalent characterizations of nowhere dense classes have been obtained over the years, using a wide range of combinatorial objects. In this paper we establish a new characterization of nowhere dense classes, in terms of poset dimension: A monotone graph class is nowhere dense if and only if for every h⩾1 and every ε > 0, posets of height at most h with n elements and whose cover graphs are in the class have dimension $$\mathcal{O}(n^\epsilon)$$.
