Description A T-graph (a special case of a chordal graph) is the intersection graph of connected subtrees of a suitable subdivision of a fixed tree T. We deal with the isomorphism problem for T-graphs which is GI-complete in general – when T is a part of the input and even a star. We prove that the T-graph isomorphism problem is in FPT when T is the fixed parameter of the problem. This can equivalently be stated that isomorphism is in FPT for chordal graphs of (so-called) bounded leafage. While the recognition problem for T-graphs is not known to be in FPT wrt. T, we do not need a T-representation to be given (a promise is enough). To obtain the result, we combine a suitable isomorphisminvariant decomposition of T-graphs with the classical tower-of-groups algorithm of Babai, and reuse some of the ideas of our isomorphism algorithm for Sd-graphs [MFCS 2020].
