Abstract

In this article we consider a problem related to two famous combinatorial topics. One of them concerns the chromatic number of the space. The other deals with graphs having big girth (the length of the shortest cycle) and large chromatic number. Namely, we prove that for any lNl\in \mathbb{N} there exists a sequence of distance graphs in Rn\mathbb{R}^n with girth at least ll and the chromatic number equal to (c+oˉ(1))n(c+\bar{o}(1))^n with c>1c>1.
