Layered subgraphs of the hypercube

A subgraph of the n-dimensional hypercube is called 'layered' if it is a subgraph of a layer of some hypercube. In this paper we show that there exist subgraphs of the cube of arbitrarily large girth that are not layered. This answers a question of Axenovich, Martin and Winter. Perhaps surprisingly, these subgraphs may even be taken to be induced.
