Abstract
Abstract The Erdős–Hajnal conjecture says that for every graph there exists such that every graph not containing as an induced subgraph has a clique or stable set of cardinality at least . We prove that this is true when is a cycle of length five. We also prove several further results: for instance, that if is a cycle and is the complement of a forest, there exists such that every graph containing neither of as an induced subgraph has a clique or stable set of cardinality at least .
