Asymptotic structure. VI. Distant paths across a disc
read the original abstract
Menger's theorem says that, for $k\ge0$, if $S, T$ are sets of vertices in a graph $G$, then either there are $k + 1$ vertex-disjoint paths between $S$ and $T$, or there is a set X of at most $k$ vertices such that every $S$-$T$ path passes through $X$. The ``coarse Menger conjecture'' proposed a generalization of Menger's theorem for paths that are far apart: for all $k, c$ there exists $\ell$, such that for every graph $G$ and subsets $S, T \subset V (G)$, either there are $k + 1$ paths between $S$ and $T$, pairwise with distance more than $c$, or there is a set $X \subset V (G)$ of at most $k$ vertices such that every $S$-$T$ path has distance at most $\ell$ from $X$. This is known to be false, but may be true if $G$ is planar. Here we show that it is true if $G$ is planar and all vertices in $S \cup T$ are on the infinite region. In this case, we also obtain a linear-time algorithm to test for the existence of $k+ 1$ paths between $S$ and $T$, pairwise with distance more than $c$.

A coarse Menger theorem for hyperbolic graphs, finitely presented groups, and more
Graphs with cycle spaces generated by bounded-length cycles have the coarse Menger property, with corollaries for hyperbolic graphs, finitely presented groups, and planar graphs with bounded faces.

A coarse Menger's Theorem for planar and bounded genus graphs
In planar and bounded-genus graphs, absence of k pairwise d-far S-T paths implies a vertex set of size f(d,k) whose d-neighborhood intersects every S-T path.

Coarse Menger property of quasi-minor excluded graphs and length spaces
Locally finite graphs with an excluded finite minor have the weak coarse Menger property with f depending only on k and g linear in r independent of k.

A coarse block-cut tree theorem
Every graph admits a tree decomposition with small-diameter adhesion sets where same-bag vertices cannot be separated by small, distant vertex sets.
