A star-comb lemma for infinite digraphs

The star-comb lemma is a fundamental tool in infinite graph theory, which states that for any infinite set $U$ of vertices in a connected graph $G$ there exists either a subdivided infinite star in $G$ with all leaves in $U$, or an infinite comb in $G$ with all teeth in $U$. In this paper, we elabor...

description The star-comb lemma is a fundamental tool in infinite graph theory, which states that for any infinite set $U$ of vertices in a connected graph $G$ there exists either a subdivided infinite star in $G$ with all leaves in $U$, or an infinite comb in $G$ with all teeth in $U$. In this paper, we elaborate a pendant of the star-comb lemma for directed graphs. More precisely, we prove that for any infinite set $U$ of vertices in a strongly connected directed graph $D$, there exists a strongly connected substructure of $D$ attached to infinitely many vertices of $U$ that is either shaped by a star or shaped by a comb, or is a chain of triangles.
