Erdős problem 533

Let δ>0\delta > 0. If nn is sufficiently large and GG is a graph on nn vertices with no K5K_5 and at least δn2\delta n^2 edges, must GG contain a set of δn\gg_\delta n vertices spanning no triangle?

The contrasting positive result δ3(4)=0\delta_3(4) = 0 of Erdős, Hajnal, Simonovits, Sós, and Szemerédi [EHSSS94]: the K4K_4 analogue of erdos_533 is true. For every δ>0\delta > 0 there is a c>0c > 0 such that for all sufficiently large nn, every K4K_4-free graph GG on nn vertices with at least δn2\delta n^2 edges contains a triangle-free vertex set of size at least cnc n.
