The Erdos-Hajnal High-Girth Subgraph Conjecture

partialconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as partial. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

Erdos and Hajnal asked whether $h_r(G) = \max\{\chi(H) : H \subseteq G,\ \mathrm{girth}(H) \ge r\}$ tends to infinity as $\chi(G)$ does, for every fixed $r \ge 4$. It does in every fixed polynomial edge-density regime.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.
