Hadwiger's conjecture for graphs with infinite chromatic number

Combinatorics 2012-12-14 v1 Discrete Mathematics Logic

Abstract

We construct a connected graph H such that (1) \chi(H) = \omega; (2) K_\omega, the complete graph on \omega points, is not a minor of H. Therefore Hadwiger's conjecture does not hold for graphs with infinite coloring number.
