Erdős Problem #1175 — Triangle-Free Subgraphs of Prescribed Chromatic Number

About 1 year old · traced to

Let κ\kappa be an uncountable cardinal, i.e. ℵ0<κ\aleph_0<\kappa. Must there exist a cardinal μ\mu such that every graph GG with chromatic cardinal μ\mu contains a subgraph HH that is triangle-free and has chromatic cardinal exactly κ\kappa? Equivalently, is the following true: for every cardinal κ\kappa with ℵ0<κ\aleph_0<\kappa, there exists a cardinal μ\mu such that, for every vertex type VV and every graph GG on VV with chromatic cardinal μ\mu, there is a subgraph HH of GG such that HH contains no triangle and its chromatic cardinal is κ\kappa?
