9 It turns out that I published more papers with Andreas than with anybody else

10 It turns out that the converse is also true

11 Some contributions, I had a luck to make with Andreas G is dually chordal There is a maximum neighborhood ordering of vertices of G There is a locally connected spanning tree T, i.e., for any v, N[v,G] T is a subtree of T There is a spanning tree T such that any maximal clique of G induces a subtree in T G is K(G) for some chordal graph G is the 2-section graph of paths of a tree.
