The general sparse induced-subgraph conjecture

Let tw(G)\operatorname{tw}(G) denote the treewidth of GG. The general sparse induced-subgraph conjecture. For every t1t\geq 1, every graph of sufficiently large treewidth has an induced subgraph of treewidth tt which is either complete or K4K_4-free. The source presents this as a possible extension beyond even-hole-free graphs, motivated by known sparse obstructions; no resolution is given.
