This conjecture has a directed equivalent version stating that for every tournament $H$ there exists $ \\epsilon(H) > 0 $ such that every $H-$free $n-$vertex tournament $T$ contains a transitive subtournament of order at least $ n^{\\epsilon(H)} $. This conjecture is known to hold for a few infinite families of tournaments. In this paper we construct two new infinite families of tournaments - the family of so-called galaxies with spiders and the family of so-called asterisms, and we prove the correctness of the conjecture for these two families.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-22T11:48:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "infinite families", "erdös-hajnal conjecture", "undirected graph", "directed equivalent version", "conjecture states" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
