关于$k$-着色图的一个注记

A note on graphs of $k$-colourings

Emma Hogan, Alex Scott, Youri Tamitegama, Jane Tan

AI总结:

本文证明每个图都可由某个$k$-着色图唯一确定,证实相关猜想,并表明有限个广义色多项式无法唯一反推原图。

摘要:

对于图$G$,其$k$-着色图的顶点对应于$G$的正常$k$-着色,并且仅在单个顶点上不同的两种着色之间连边。该图支撑用于$k$-着色的Glauber动力学Markov链,并已从极值和概率两个角度得到广泛研究。在本注记中,我们证明对于每个图$G$,都存在$k$,使得$G$由其$k$-着色图唯一确定,这证实了Asgarli、Krehbiel、Levinson和Russell的两个猜想。我们进一步证明,$G$的任何有限广义色多项式族——这些多项式编码其着色图的诱导子图计数——都不能唯一确定$G$。

英文摘要:

For a graph $G$, the $k$-colouring graph of $G$ has vertices corresponding to proper $k$-colourings of $G$ and edges between colourings that differ at a single vertex. The graph supports the Glauber dynamics Markov chain for $k$-colourings, and has been extensively studied from both extremal and probabilistic perspectives. In this note, we show that for every graph $G$, there exists $k$ such that $G$ is uniquely determined by its $k$-colouring graph, confirming two conjectures of Asgarli, Krehbiel, Levinson and Russell. We further show that no finite family of generalised chromatic polynomials for $G$, which encode induced subgraph counts of its colouring graphs, uniquely determine $G$.
