Hoàng's conjecture on bisimplicial vertices in minimally nonperfectly divisible graphs

All graphs considered are finite and simple. For a graph GG, write ρ(G)\rho(G) for its chromatic number and τ(G)\tau(G) for its clique number. A graph is minimally nonperfectly divisible (MNPD) if it is not perfectly divisible, while every proper induced subgraph is perfectly divisible. A vertex is bisimplicial if its neighbourhood is the union of two cliques. Hoàng's conjecture. No MNPD graph contains a bisimplicial vertex. The paper disproves this conjecture by constructing an explicit infinite family of MNPD graphs with a bisimplicial vertex.
