Hadwiger猜想及其奇次变式的渐近等价性

Asymptotic Equivalence of Hadwiger's Conjecture and its Odd Minor-Variant

Raphael Steiner

摘要:

Hadwiger猜想指出,每个$K_t$ -子自由图都是$(t-1)$ -可着色的.由Gerards和Seymour提出的这个猜想的一个定性加强,被称为奇Hadwiger猜想,类似地说,每个没有奇$K_t$ -子图的图是$(t-1)$ -可着色的。对于这两种结构,它们的渐近松弛仍然是开放的,即,对于某个常数$C>0$,$Ct$形式的色数是否存在上界。我们证明了如果每个没有$K_t$ -子图的图都是$f(t)$ -可着色的,那么每个没有奇数$K_t$ -子图的图都是$2f(t)$ -可着色的.利用这一点,Delcourt和Postle最近对$K_t$-minor自由图的色数的$O(t\log\log t)$-上界直接推广到奇$K_t$ -minor自由图的色数.这(稍微)改进了Delcourt和Postle对这个问题的$O(t(\log \log t)^2)$的上界。

英文摘要:

Hadwiger's conjecture states that every $K_t$-minor free graph is $(t-1)$-colorable. A qualitative strengthening of this conjecture raised by Gerards and Seymour, known as the Odd Hadwiger's conjecture, states similarly that every graph with no odd $K_t$-minor is $(t-1)$-colorable. For both conjectures, their asymptotic relaxations remain open, i.e., whether an upper bound on the chromatic number of the form $Ct$ for some constant $C>0$ exists. We show that if every graph without a $K_t$-minor is $f(t)$-colorable, then every graph without an odd $K_t$-minor is $2f(t)$-colorable. Using this, the recent $O(t\log\log t)$-upper bound of Delcourt and Postle for the chromatic number of $K_t$-minor free graphs directly carries over to the chromatic number of odd $K_t$-minor-free graphs. This (slightly) improves a previous bound of $O(t(\log \log t)^2)$ for this problem by Delcourt and Postle.
