Intersection Theorems for Infinite Families of Convex Sets in Graphs

We prove several Helly-type theorems for infinite families of geodesically convex sets in infinite graphs. That is, we determine the least cardinal n such that any family of (particular) convex sets in some infinite graph has a nonempty intersection whenever each of its subfamilies of cardinality less than n has a nonempty intersection. We obtain some general compactness theorems, and some particular results for pseudo-modular graphs, strongly dismantlable graphs and ball-Helly graphs.
