Abstract
We prove that for all positive integers , every -vertex graph with no -subdivision has at most cliques. We also prove that asymptotically, such graphs contain at most cliques, where tends to zero as tends to infinity. This strongly answers a question of D. Wood asking if the number of cliques in -vertex graphs with no -minor is at most for some constant .
