%0 Journal Article %T A proof of the rooted tree alternative conjecture %A Mykhaylo Tyomkyn %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X Bonato and Tardif conjectured that the number of isomorphism classes of trees mutually embeddable with a given tree T is either 1 or infinite. We prove the analogue of their conjecture for rooted trees. We also discuss the original conjecture for locally finite trees and state some new conjectures. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.1121v1
