大多数6-正则Toroidal图的5-染色都是Kempe等价的

In Most 6-regular Toroidal Graphs All 5-colorings are Kempe Equivalent

Daniel W. Cranston, Reem Mahmoud

摘要:

真染色中的Kempe交换是指极大连通2-有色子图上的颜色交换。两个$k$ -着色是$k$ -等价的,如果我们可以使用Kempe交换将一个转换为另一个。三角形环形网格$T[m\times n]$由$C_m$和$C_n$的笛卡儿积(的环形嵌入)通过在所有4个面内添加平行对角线而形成。Mohar和Salas证明了并非所有$T[m\times n]$的4-着色都是4-等价的。相反,Bonamy、Bousquet、Feghali和Johnson证明了$T[m\times n]$的所有6-着色都是6-等价的。他们问是否同样适用于5色。我们肯定地回答他们的问题时,$m,n\ge 6$。进一步,我们证明了如果$G$是6-正则的,且有环形嵌入,其中每个不可收缩圈的长度至少为7,则$G$的所有5-着色都是5-等价的.我们的结果与统计力学中的反铁磁Pott模型有关。

英文摘要:

A Kempe swap in a proper coloring interchanges the colors on some maximal connected 2-colored subgraph. Two $k$-colorings are $k$-equivalent if we can transform one into the other using Kempe swaps. The triangulated toroidal grid, $T[m\times n]$, is formed from (a toroidal embedding of) the Cartesian product of $C_m$ and $C_n$ by adding parallel diagonals inside all 4-faces. Mohar and Salas showed that not all 4-colorings of $T[m\times n]$ are 4-equivalent. In contrast, Bonamy, Bousquet, Feghali, and Johnson showed that all 6-colorings of $T[m\times n]$ are 6-equivalent. They asked whether the same is true for 5-colorings. We answer their question affirmatively when $m,n\ge 6$. Further, we show that if $G$ is 6-regular with a toroidal embedding where every non-contractible cycle has length at least 7, then all 5-colorings of $G$ are 5-equivalent. Our results relate to the antiferromagnetic Pott's model in statistical mechanics.
