Abstract

We show that the 14 graphs obtained by \nablaY moves on K7 constitute a complete list of the minor minimal intrinsically knotted graphs on 21 edges. We also present evidence in support of a conjecture that the 20 graph Heawood family, obtained by a combination of \nablaY and Y∇ moves on K7, is the list of graphs of size 21 that are minor minimal with respect to the property not 2--apex.
