Polynomial Erdős–Hajnal bound for graphs of bounded VC-dimension

About 7 years old · traced to

Let d≥2d\geq 2. A graph has VC-dimension at most dd when its VC-dimension is bounded by dd. Bounded-VC-dimension Erdős–Hajnal conjecture. There exists a constant ε(d)\varepsilon(d) such that every graph on nn vertices with VC-dimension at most dd contains a clique or an independent set of size nε(d)n^{\varepsilon(d)}.

This is a bounded-VC-dimension analogue of the Erdős–Hajnal conjecture. The paper records weaker lower bounds, including e(log⁡n)1−o(1)e^{(\log n)^{1-o(1)}}, and states that the polynomial bound remains open.
