On the neighborhood complex of $\vec{s}$-stable Kneser graphs
Abstract
In 2002, A. Bj\"orner and M. de Longueville showed the neighborhood complex of the -stable Kneser graph has the same homotopy type as the -sphere. A short time ago, an analogous result about the homotopy type of the neighborhood complex of almost -stable Kneser graph has been announced by J. Oszt\'{e}nyi. Combining this result with the famous Lov\'{a}sz's topological lower bound on the chromatic number of graphs has been yielded a new way for determining the chromatic number of these graphs which was determined a bit earlier by P. Chen. In this paper we present a common generalization of the mentioned results. We will define the -stable Kneser graph as the induced subgraph of the Kneser graph on -stable vertices. And we prove, for given an integer vector and where for and , the neighborhood complex of is homotopy equivalent to the -sphere. In particular, this implies that for the mentioned parameters. Moreover, as a simple corollary of the previous result, we will determine the chromatic number of 3-stable kneser graphs with at most one error.
