We prove that for every integer $k$, there exists $varepsilon > 0$ such that for every n-vertex graph $G$ with no pivot-minor isomorphic to $C_k$, there exist disjoint sets $A,B subseteq V(G)$ such that $|A|,|B| geq varepsilon n$, and $A$ is either complete or anticomplete to $B$. This proves the analog of the ErdH{o}s-Hajnal conjecture for the class of graphs with no pivot-minor isomorphic to $C_k$.
Robertson and Seymour proved that the family of all graphs containing a fixed graph $H$ as a minor has the ErdH{o}s-Posa property if and only if $H$ is planar. We show that this is no longer true for the edge version of the ErdH{o}s-Posa property, an
We prove that there exists a function $f(k)=mathcal{O}(k^2 log k)$ such that for every $C_4$-free graph $G$ and every $k in mathbb{N}$, $G$ either contains $k$ vertex-disjoint holes of length at least $6$, or a set $X$ of at most $f(k)$ vertices such
A set of n points in the plane which are not all collinear defines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chvatal conjectured in 2008 that a similar result can be achieved in the broader context of finite metric spaces. This conjecture remains open even
A graph is $P_8$-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to the path $P_8$ on eight vertices. In 1995, ErdH{o}s and Gy{a}rf{a}s conjectured that every graph of minimum degree at least three contains a cycle whose length is a power of two.
A hole in a graph is an induced cycle of length at least $4$. Let $sge2$ and $tge2$ be integers. A graph $G$ is $(s,t)$-splittable if $V(G)$ can be partitioned into two sets $S$ and $T$ such that $chi(G[S ]) ge s$ and $chi(G[T ]) ge t$. The well-know
