Induced subgraphs of graphs with large chromatic number. XII. Distant stars

Maria Chudnovsky, Alex Scott, Paul Seymour

The Gyarfas-Sumner conjecture asserts that if H is a tree then every graph with bounded clique number and very large chromatic number contains H as an induced subgraph. This is sti…

Induced subgraphs of graphs with large chromatic number. XI. Orientations

Maria Chudnovsky, Alex Scott, Paul Seymour

Fix an oriented graph H, and let G be a graph with bounded clique number and very large chromatic number. If we somehow orient its edges, must there be an induced subdigraph isomor…

Partitioning the vertices of a torus into isomorphic subgraphs

Marthe Bonamy, Natasha Morrison, Alex Scott

Let be an induced subgraph of the torus . We show that when is even and divides some power of , then for sufficiently large the torus h…

Near-domination in graphs

Bruce Reed, Alex Scott, Paul Seymour

A vertex u of a graph t-dominates a vertex v if there are at most t vertices different from u,v that are adjacent to v and not to u; and a graph is t-dominating if for every pair o…

Clustered Colouring in Minor-Closed Classes

Sergey Norin, Alex Scott, Paul Seymour +1

The "clustered chromatic number" of a class of graphs is the minimum integer such that for some integer every graph in the class is -colourable with monochromatic compon…

Bad News for Chordal Partitions

Alex Scott, Paul Seymour, David R. Wood

Reed and Seymour [1998] asked whether every graph has a partition into induced connected non-empty bipartite subgraphs such that the quotient graph is chordal. If true, this would…
