Burling graphs revisited, part I: New characterizations

Résumé

The Burling sequence is a sequence of triangle-free graphs of increasing chromatic number. Each of them is isomorphic to the intersection graph of a set of axis-parallel boxes in $R^3$. These graphs were also proved to have other geometrical representations: intersection graphs of line segments in the plane, and intersection graphs of frames, where a frame is the boundary of an axis-aligned rectangle in the plane. We call Burling graph every graph that is an induced subgraph of some graph in the Burling sequence. We give five new equivalent ways to define Burling graphs. Three of them are geometrical, one is of a more graph-theoretical flavour and one is more axiomatic.
