Abstract

Let x1,…,xn∈Rd be unit vectors such that among any three there is an orthogonal pair. How large can n be as a function of d, and how large can the length of x1+⋯+xn be? The answers to these two celebrated questions, asked by Erdős and Lovász, are closely related to orthonormal representations of triangle-free graphs, in particular to their Lovász ϑ-function and minimum semidefinite rank. In this paper, we study these parameters for general H-free graphs. In particular, we show that for certain bipartite graphs H, there is a connection between the Turán number of H and the maximum of ϑ(G¯¯¯¯) over all H-free graphs G.
