Colouring graphs without odd holes

Gyarfas conjectured in 1985 that if G is a graph with no induced cycle of odd length at least 5, then the chromatic number of G is bounded by a function of its clique number. We prove this conjecture, and discuss some further results.

Joint work with Paul Seymour.
