Abstract
A (finite, undirected) graph is -colourable if we can assign each vertex a -subset of so that adjacent vertices receive disjoint subsets. We consider the following problem: if a graph is -colourable, then for what pairs is it also -colourable? This question can be translated into a question regarding multi-colourings of Kneser graphs, for which Stahl formulated a conjecture in 1976. We present new results, strengthen existing results, and in particular present much simpler proofs of several known cases of the conjecture.
