Retained formal statement
Menger's theorem for infinite graphs (Aharoni–Berger [AhBe09]).
The theorem actually proved by Aharoni and Berger holds for arbitrary vertex sets and : in any (possibly infinite) graph there is a family of pairwise vertex-disjoint -- paths together with an -- separator consisting of the choice of exactly one vertex from each path in . The disjointness and independence hypotheses of erdos_599 are not needed.
