Abstract
It is well known that for any integers and , there is a graph with chromatic number at least and girth at least . In 1960's, Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal conjectured that for any and , there exists a number , such that every graph with chromatic number at least contains a subgraph with chromatic number at least and girth at least . In 1977, R\"{o}dl proved the case for and arbitrary . We prove the fractional chromatic number version of R\"{o}dl's result.
