contents For a real number $c > 4$, we prove that every graph $G$ with $α(G) \leq 2$ and $|V(G)| \geq ct$ has a matching $M$ with $|M| = t$ such that the number of non-adjacent pairs of edges in $M$ is at most: \begin{equation*} \left( \frac{1}{c\left(c-1\right)^2} + O_c\left(t^{-1/3} \right) \right) \binom{t}{2}. \end{equation*} This is related to an open problem of Seymour (2016) about Hadwiger's Conjecture, who asked if there is a constant $\varepsilon > 0$ such that every graph $G$ with $α(G) \leq 2$ has $\text{had}(G) \geq (\frac{1}{3} + \varepsilon) |V(G)|$.
