Popis: A graph K is square-free if it contains no four-cycle as a subgraph. A graph K is multiplicative if GxH -> K implies G -> K or H -> K, for all graphs G,H. Here GxH is the tensor (or categorical) graph product and G -> K denotes the existence of a graph homomorphism from G to K. Hedetniemi's conjecture states that all cliques K_n are multiplicative. However, the only non-trivial graphs known to be multiplicative are K_3, odd cycles, and still more generally, circular cliques $K_{p/q}$ with 2
