abstract = "The Directed Grid Theorem, stating that there is a function f such that a directed graph of directed treewidth at least f(k) contains a directed grid of size at least k as a butterfly minor, after being a conjecture for nearly 20 years, has been proven in 2015 by Kawarabayashi and Kreutzer. However, the function f in the proof is very fast growing. Here, we show that if we relax directed grid to bramble of constant congestion, we obtain a polynomial bound. More precisely, we show that for every k≥ 1 there exists t= O(k48log13k) such that every directed graph of directed treewidth at least t contains a bramble of congestion at most 8 and size at least k.",
