Erdős Problem 75

Is there a graph of chromatic number ℵ_ 1 with ℵ_ 1 vertices such that for all ε > 0, if n is sufficiently large and H is a subgraph on n vertices, then H contains an independent set of size > n ^ (1 - ε)?

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
