An orientation of a graph is semi-transitive if it is acyclic, and for any directed path v 0→ v 1→⋯→ v k either there is no edge between v 0 and v k, or v i→ v j is an edge for all 0≤ i< j≤ k. An undirected graph is semi-transitive if it admits a semi-transitive orientation. Semi-transitive graphs include several important classes of graphs such as 3-colourable graphs, comparability graphs, and circle graphs, and they are precisely the class of word-representable graphs studied extensively in the literature. In this paper, we study semi-transitive orientability of the celebrated Kneser graph K (n, k), which is the graph whose vertices correspond to the k-element subsets of a set of n elements, and where two vertices are adjacent if and only if the two corresponding sets are disjoint. We show that K (n, k) is not semi-transitive for any even integers k≥ 2 and n≥ 3 k and for any odd integers k≥ 3 and n≥ 3 k+ 3. On the other hand, for m∈{2 k, 2 k+ 1}, K (n, k) is semi-transitive. Also, if K (p, q) is not semi-transitive, then K (n, k) is not semi-transitive for any k≥ q and n≥ k q p. Moreover, we show computationally that K (8, 3) is not semi-transitive, which results in K (n, k) being not semi-transitive for any k≥ 3 and n≥ 8⋅ k 3. A certain subgraph S of K (8, 3) presented by us and K (8, 3) itself are the first explicit examples of triangle-free non-semi-transitive graphs, whose existence was established via Erdős’ theorem by Halldórsson, Kitaev and Pyatkin in Halldórsson et al.(2011). Finally, the complement graph K (n, k)¯ of K (n, k) is not semi-transitive if and only if n> 2 k.
