Abstract

The Kneser cube KnnKn_n has vertex set 2[n]2^{[n]} and two vertices F,FF,F' are joined by an edge if and only if FF=F\cap F'=\emptyset. For a fixed graph GG, we are interested in the most number vex(n,G)vex(n,G) of vertices of KnnKn_n that span a GG-free subgraph in KnnKn_n. We show that the asymptotics of vex(n,G)vex(n,G) is (1+o(1))2n1(1+o(1))2^{n-1} for bipartite GG and (1o(1))2n(1-o(1))2^n for graphs with chromatic number at least 3. We also obtain results on the order of magnitude of 2n1vex(n,G)2^{n-1}-vex(n,G) and 2nvex(n,G)2^n-vex(n,G) in these two cases. In the case of bipartite GG, we relate this problem to instances of the forbidden subposet problem.
