چکیده

An odd hole in a graph is an induced subgraph which is a cycle of odd length at least five. In 1985, A. Gyárfás made the conjecture that for all t there exists n such that every graph with no Kt subgraph and no odd hole is n-colourable. We prove this conjecture.

Induced subgraphs of graphs with large chromatic number. X. Holes of specific residue

In an earlier paper, we proved (with Chudnovsky and Spirkl) that for all integers κ, ` ≥ 0, every graph with clique number at most κ and sufficiently large chromatic number has an odd hole of length at least `. Here we prove a strengthening, that for all integers κ, ` ≥ 0, every graph with clique number at most κ and sufficiently large chromatic number has a hole of every possible length modulo `.

Induced subgraphs of graphs with large chromatic number. IV. Consecutive holes

A hole in a graph is an induced subgraph which is a cycle of length at least four. We prove that for all ν > 0, every triangle-free graph with sufficiently large chromatic number contains holes of ν consecutive lengths.

Induced subgraphs of graphs with large chromatic number. VII. Gyárfás’ complementation conjecture

A class of graphs is χ-bounded if there is a function f such that χ(G) ≤ f(ω(G)) for every induced subgraph G of every graph in the class, where χ, ω denote the chromatic number and clique number of G respectively. In 1987, Gyárfás conjectured that for every c, if C is a class of graphs such that χ(G) ≤ ω(G) + c for every induced subgraph G of every graph in the class, then the class of complem...

Circular chromatic number of triangle-free hexagonal graphs

An interesting connection between graph homomorphisms to odd cycles and circular chromatic number is presented. By using this connection, bounds for circular chromatic number of triangle-free hexagonal graphs (i.e. induced subgraphs of triangular lattice) are given.
