A Note on Norine's Antipodal-Colouring Conjecture

Combinatorics 2020-06-01 v1

Abstract

Norine's antipodal-colouring conjecture, in a form given by Feder and Subi, asserts that whenever the edges of the discrete cube are 2-coloured there must exist a path between two opposite vertices along which there is at most one colour change. The best bound to date was that there must exist such a path with at most n/2n/2 colour changes. Our aim in this note is to improve this upper bound to (38+o(1))n(\frac{3}{8}+o(1))n.
