This generalises recent theorems of Bria\\'{n}ski, Davies and Walczak, and Carbonero, Hompe, Moore and Spirkl. Moreover, we show an analogous statement where clique number is replaced by odd girth.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-07T18:59:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "clique number", "arbitrarily large chromatic number", "odd girth", "free induced subgraph", "generalises" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
