There is a famous problem in geometric graph theory to find the chromatic number of the unit distance graph on Euclidean space; it remains unsolved. A theorem of Erdos and De-Bruijn simplifies this problem to finding the maximum chromatic…

The long-standing Erd\H{o}s-Faber-Lov\'asz conjecture states that every $n$-uniform linear hypergaph with $n$ edges has a proper vertex-coloring using $n$ colors. In this paper we propose an algebraic framework to the problem and formulate…

Our point of departure is the following simple common generalisation of the Sylvester-Gallai theorem and the Motzkin-Rabin theorem: Let S be a finite set of points in the plane, with each point coloured red or blue or with both colours.…

In this paper, we consider coloring of graphs under the assumption that some vertices are already colored. Let $G$ be an $r$-colorable graph and let $P\subset V(G)$. Albertson [J.\ Combin.\ Theory Ser. B \textbf{73} (1998), 189--194] has…

In the present paper, we proceed the study of framed $4$-graph minor theory initiated in ``Framed $4$-valent Graph Minor Theory I. Intoduction. Planarity Criterion '' and justify the planarity theorem for arbitrary framed 4-graphs; besides,…

Following recent result of L. M. T\' oth [arXiv:1906.03137] we show that every $2\Delta$-regular Borel graph $\mathcal{G}$ with a (not necessarily invariant) Borel probability measure admits approximate Schreier decoration. In fact, we show…

A proper $q$-coloring of a graph is an assignment of one of $q$ colors to each vertex of the graph so that adjacent vertices are colored differently. Sample uniformly among all proper $q$-colorings of a large discrete cube in the integer…

We study several basic problems about colouring the $p$-random subgraph $G_p$ of an arbitrary graph $G$, focusing primarily on the chromatic number and colouring number of $G_p$. In particular, we show that there exist infinitely many…

This paper considers the problem of showing that every pair of binary trees with the same number of leaves parses a common word under a certain simple grammar. We enumerate the common parse words for several infinite families of tree pairs…

In this note, we prove that the base case of the Graham--Rothschild Theorem, i.e., the one that considers colorings of the ($1$-dimensional) variable words, admits bounds in the class $\mathcal{E}^5$ of Grzegorczyk's hierarchy.

Let Gn be the graph on n-dimensional Euclidean space connecting points of rational Euclidean distance. It is consistent relative to an inaccessible cardinal that ZF+DC holds and G3 has countable chromatic number, yet G4 has uncountable…

We consider extensions of Brooks' classic theorem on vertex coloring where some colors cannot be used on certain vertices. In particular we prove that if $G$ is a connected graph with maximum degree $\Delta(G) \geq 4$ that is not a complete…

Casselgren, Markst\"orm, and Pham conjectured that any precolored dis\-tan\-ce-2 matching in the $d$-dimensional cube $Q_d$ with at most $d$ colors can be extended to a proper $d$-edge-coloring. In this paper, we prove this conjecture and…

For graphs $G, H_1,\dots,H_r$, write $G \to (H_1, \ldots, H_r)$ to denote the property that whenever we $r$-colour the edges of $G$, there is a monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in colour $i$ for some $i \in \{1,\dots,r\}$. Mousset, Nenadov and…
