Abstract

Determining the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex C4-free graph is a well-studied problem that dates back to a paper of Erdős from 1938. One of the most important families of C4-free graphs are the Erdős-Rényi orthogonal polarity graphs. We show that the Cayley sum graph constructed using a Bose-Chowla Sidon set is isomorphic to a large induced subgraph of the Erdős-Rényi orthogonal polarity graph. Using this isomorphism we prove that the Petersen graph is a subgraph of every sufficiently large Erdős-Rényi orthogonal polarity graph.
