On endomorphism universality of sparse graph classes.
We show that every commutative idempotent monoid (a.k.a. lattice) is the endomorphism monoid of a subcubic graph. This solves a problem of Babai and Pultr and the degree bound is best-possible. On the other hand, we show that no class excluding a minor can have all commutative idempotent monoids amo...

| Sumario: | We show that every commutative idempotent monoid (a.k.a. lattice) is the endomorphism monoid of a subcubic graph. This solves a problem of Babai and Pultr and the degree bound is best-possible. On the other hand, we show that no class excluding a minor can have all commutative idempotent monoids among its endomorphism monoids. As a by-product, we prove that monoids can be represented by graphs of bounded expansion (reproving a result of Nešetřil and Ossona de Mendez) and $k$-cancellative monoids can be represented by graphs of bounded degree. Finally, we show that not all completely regular monoids can be represented by graphs excluding topological minor (strengthening a result of Babai and Pultr). |
