Clique-index conjecture for decompositions of complete geometric graphs

From papers

Let Kn\mathsf{K}_n be a complete geometric graph of order nn, and let [Kn,P][\mathsf{K}_n,P] be a decomposition. The clique index ω([Kn,P])\omega'([\mathsf{K}_n,P]) is the maximum size of a pairwise intersecting family of elements of PP. Clique-index conjecture. Every decomposition satisfies

ω([Kn,P])n29+Θ(n).\omega'([\mathsf{K}_n,P])\leq \frac{n^2}{9}+\Theta(n).

This is presented as a weaker conjecture because ω([Kn,P])χ([Kn,P])\omega'([\mathsf{K}_n,P])\leq\chi'([\mathsf{K}_n,P]); the proposed bound remains open.
