Abstract

We show that digraphs with no transitive tournament on $3$ vertices and in which every induced directed cycle has length $3$ can have arbitrarily large dichromatic number. This answers in the negative a question of Carbonero, Hompe, Moore, and Spirkl (and strengthens one of their results).
