This answers a question of Messuti and Schacht. We deduce that the homomorphism threshold of $\\{C_3, C_5\\}$-free graphs is $1/5$, thus answering a question of Oberkampf and Schacht.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-17T00:09:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "free graphs", "homomorphism threshold", "minimum degree larger", "homomorphic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
