On the chromatic number of the union of comparability graphs

Abstract

Resolving in a strong sense an old problem of Gyárfás from the 1980s on the union of two perfect graphs, we prove that for every pair of positive integers d and k, there is a graph G with clique number k and chromatic number kd that is the union of d comparability graphs.
