 2-dimensional Convexity Numbers and \$P_4\$-free Graphs For \$S\subseteq\mathbb R^n\$ a set \$C\subseteq S\$ is an \$m\$-clique if the convex hull of no \$m\$-element subset of \$C\$ is contained in \$S\$. We show that there is essentially just one way to construct a closed set \$S\subseteq\mathbb R^2\$ without an uncountable \$3\$-clique that is not the union of countably many convex sets. In particular, all such sets have the same convexity number; that is, they require the same number of convex subsets to cover them. The main result follows from an analysis of the convex structure of closed sets in \$\mathbb R^2\$ without uncountable 3-cliques in terms of clopen, \$P_4\$-free graphs on Polish spaces.

Dorais, François G.
 A Note on Conjectures of F. Galvin and R. Rado In 1968, Galvin conjectured that an uncountable poset \$P\$ is the union of countably many chains if and only if this is true for every subposet \$Q \subseteq P\$ with size \$\aleph_1\$. In 1981, Rado formulated a similar conjecture that an uncountable interval graph \$G\$ is countably chromatic if and only if this is true for every induced subgraph \$H \subseteq G\$ with size \$\aleph_1\$. TodorÄeviÄ has shown that Rado's Conjecture is consistent relative to the existence of a supercompact cardinal, while the consistency of Galvin's Conjecture remains open. In this paper, we survey and collect a variety of results related to these two conjectures. We also show that the extension of Rado's conjecture to the class of all chordal graphs is relatively consistent with the existence of a supercompact cardinal.
