| contents | We show that the wheel classes in the Kontsevich graph complex $GC_d$ admit representatives supported on graphs with only $3$- and $4$-valent vertices. This verifies that Merkulov's low-valence conjecture holds for the wheel classes.
More precisely, for every $m \ge 2$, we prove that the wheel graph $W_{2m+1}$ is homologous to an explicit linear combination of $2^{m-2}$ graphs, each having only $3$- and $4$-valent vertices. |
