Abstract

For a finite set AR>0A \subset \mathbb{R}_{>0} and a finite graph HH, let χH(Rn;A)\chi_H(\mathbb{R}^n;A) be the minimum number of colors required to color Rn\mathbb{R}^n while avoiding a monochromatic copy of HH whose edges have distances in AA. Extending the graph-copy framework of Axenovich, Liu, and Sagdeev and a multiple distance theorem of Naslund, we prove for any positive integer mm, χH(Rn;m):=maxAR>0A=mχH(Rn;A)(Γχm+1Ξ(H)+o(1))n.\chi_H(\mathbb{R}^n;m):=\max_{\substack{A \subseteq \mathbb{R}_{>0} \\ |A|=m}} \chi_H(\mathbb{R}^n;A) \geq \left(\Gamma_{\chi}\sqrt{\frac{m+1}{\Xi(H)}}+o(1)\right)^n. Here, Γχ\Gamma_{\chi} is a constant and Ξ(H)\Xi(H) is an explicit structural parameter that can be substantially smaller than V(H)1|V(H)|-1, thereby recovering Naslund's similar bound for complete graphs and improving the general bound inherited from the corresponding clique for many graph families. Along the way, we construct a weighted strengthening of the semi-diagonal flattening rank theorem of Correia, Sudakov, and Tomon.
