The minimum semidefinite rank of a triangle-free graph

We employ a result of Moshe Rosenfeld to show that the minimum semidefinite rank of a triangle-free graph with no isolated vertex must be at least half the number of its vertices. We define a Rosenfeld graph to be such a graph that achieves equality in this bound, and we explore the structure of these special graphs. Their structure turns out to be intimately connected with the zero-nonzero patterns of the unitary matrices. Finally, we suggest an exploration of the connection between the girth of a graph and its minimum semidefinite rank, and provide a conjecture in this direction.
