Infinite Stable Graphs With Large Chromatic Number II

Logic 2021-03-26 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We prove a version of the strong Taylor's conjecture for stable graphs: if GG is a stable graph whose chromatic number is strictly greater than 2(0)\beth_2(\aleph_0) then GG contains all finite subgraphs of Shn(ω)_n(\omega) and thus has elementary extensions of unbounded chromatic number. This completes the picture from our previous work. The main new model theoretic ingredient is a generalization of the classical construction of Ehrenfeucht-Mostowski models to an infinitary setting, giving a new characterization of stability.
