Aiming for applications in monadic second-order model theory, we study first-order theories without definable pairing functions. Our main results concern forking-properties of sequences of indiscernibles. These turn out to be very well-behaved for the theories under consideration.

It is well known that on classes of graphs of bounded tree-width, every monadic second-order property is decidable in polynomial time. The converse is not true without further assumptions. It follows from the work of Robertson and Seymour, that if a class of graphs K has unbounded tree-width and is
In 1971, Chartrand, Geller, and Hedetniemi conjectured that the edge set of a planar graph may be partitioned into two subsets, each of which induces an outerplanar graph. Some partial results towards this conjecture are presented. One such result, in which a planar graph may be thus edge partitione
