摘要

We prove that there is a function f such that every graph with no K-fat \(K_4\) K 4 minor is f(K)-quasi-isometric to a graph with no \(K_4\) K 4 minor. This solves the  \(K_4\) K 4 -case of a general conjecture of Georgakopoulos and Papasoglu. Our proof technique also yields a new short proof of the respective  \(K_4^-\) K 4 - -case, which was first established by Fujiwara and Papasoglu.
