Abstract: Flapan--Naimi--Pommersheim showed that every spatial embedding of $K_{10}$, the complete graph on ten vertices, contains a non-split three-component link; that is, $K_{10}$ is intrinsically triple-linked in $mathbb{R}^3$. The work of Bowlin--Foisy and Flapan--Foisy--Naimi--Pommersheim extended the list of known intrinsically triple-linked graphs in $mathbb{R}^3$ to include several other families of graphs. In this paper, we will show that while some of these graphs can be embedded 3-linklessly in $mathbbR{P}^3$, $K_{10}$ is intrinsically triple-linked in $mathbbR{P}^3$.

Review text

A graph is said to be intrinsically triple-linked in a 3-dimensional topological space \(X\), if every embedding of the graph into \(X\) contains a nonsplittable link of three components. The authors show that the complete graph \(K_{10}\) has the property in \(\mathbb{R}P^3\). Additionally some graphs which are intrinsically triple-linked in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) are shown not to have the property in \(\mathbb{R}P^3\).
