Seymour and, independently, Kelmans conjectured in the 1970s that
every 5-connected nonplanar graph contains a subdivision of $K_5$. This
conjecture was proved by Ma and Yu for graphs containing $K_4^-$. Recently,
we proved this entire Kelmans-Seymour conjecture. In this talk, I will give
a sketch of our proof, and discuss related problems.
This is joint work with Dawei He and Xingxing Yu.
