Perfect graphs of arbitrarily large clique-chromatic number
Abstract
We prove that there exist perfect graphs of arbitrarily large clique-chromatic number. These graphs can be obtained from cobipartite graphs by repeatedly gluing along cliques. This negatively answers a question raised by Duffus, Sands, Sauer, and Woodrow in [Two-coloring all two-element maximal antichains, J. Combinatorial Theory, Ser. A, 57 (1991), 109-116].
