The authors' main claim We show that $\text{dgon}(\Gamma(G,\mathbb{1}))$ is equal to the minimal divisorial gonality of all regular subdivisions of $G$, and we provide a class of graphs for which this number is strictly smaller than the divisorial gonality of $G$.
The compiled record
The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

This paper compares the divisorial gonality of a finite graph $G$ to the divisorial gonality of the associated metric graph $\Gamma(G,\mathbb{1})$ with unit lengths. We show that $\text{dgon}(\Gamma(G,\mathbb{1}))$ is equal to the minimal divisorial gonality of all regular subdivisions of $G$, and we provide a class of graphs for which this number is strictly smaller than the divisorial gonality of $G$. This settles a conjecture of M. Baker in the negative.

This paper compares the divisorial gonality of a finite graph $G$ to the divisorial gonality of the associated metric graph $\Gamma(G,\mathbb{1})$ with unit lengths. We show that $\text{dgon}(\Gamma(G,\mathbb{1}))$ is equal to the minimal divisorial gonality of all regular subdivisions of $G$, and we provide a class of graphs for which this number is strictly smaller than the divisorial gonality of $G$. This settles a conjecture of M. Baker in the negative.
