This conjecture remains widely open, even for digraphs $F$ on five vertices. Recently, Aboulker, Cohen, Havet, Lochet, Moura and Thomass\\'{e} studied special cases of Mader's problem and made the following conjecture: for every $\\ell \\geq 2$ there exists $K = K(\\ell)$ such that every digraph $D$ with minimum out-degree at least $K$ contains a subdivision of every orientation of a cycle of length $\\ell$. We prove this conjecture and answer further open questions raised by Aboulker et al.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-08-30T17:31:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C07", "05C20", "05C83" ], "keywords": [ "large outdegree", "oriented cycles", "minimum out-degree", "acyclic digraph", "open questions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
