Abstract

Extending the idea from the paper by Carbonero, Hompe, Moore, and Spirkl, for every function $f\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}\cup{\infty}$ with $f(1)=1$ and $f(n)\geq\binom{3n+1}{3}$, we construct a hereditary class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$ such that the maximum chromatic number of a graph in $\mathcal{G}$ with clique number $n$ is equal to $f(n)$ for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$. In particular, we prove that there exist hereditary classes of graphs that are $\chi$-bounded but not polynomially $\chi$-bounded.
