Polynomial bounds for chromatic number III: excluding a double star

Abstract:
A double star is a tree with two internal vertices. It is known that the Gy\'arf\'as-Sumner conjecture holds for double stars, that is, for every double star $H$, there is a function $f$ such that if $G$ does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph then $\chi(G)\le f(\omega(G))$ (where $\chi, \omega$ are the chromatic number and the clique number of $G$). Here we prove that $f$ can be chosen to be a polynomial.
