Siblings of countable cographs

Combinatorics 2020-04-28 v1

Abstract

We show that every countable cograph has either one or infinitely many siblings. This answers, very partially, a conjecture of Thomass\'e. The main tools are the notion of well quasi ordering and the correspondence between cographs and some labelled ordered trees.
