Understanding the problem

Read the background

For every fixed r≥4, every K_r-free graph of sufficiently large maximum degree Δ has correspondence chromatic number O_r(Δ/log Δ).

Why it matters

If correct, resolves that coloring conjecture in the stronger correspondence-coloring setting.

What counts as progress

Do fixed-clique-free graphs admit correspondence colorings using O(Δ/log Δ) colors?
