Abstract

We prove that every sufficiently large 6-connected graph of bounded tree-width either has a K6 minor, or has a vertex whose deletion makes the graph planar. This is a step toward proving that the same conclusion holds for all sufficiently large 6-connected graphs. Jørgensen conjectured that it holds for all 6-connected graphs.
