It is known that several variations of the axiom of determinacy play important roles in the study of reverse mathematics, and the relation between the hierarchy of determinacy and comprehension are revealed by Tanaka, Nemoto, Montalb\'an,…

Two vertex colorings of a graph are Kempe equivalent if they can be transformed into each other by a sequence of switchings of two colors of vertices. It is PSPACE-complete to determine whether two given vertex $k$-colorings of a graph are…

Szlam's Lemma began life as a way of getting upper bounds on the chromatic numbers of distance graphs in normed vector spaces. Now analogs are available in a variety of hypergraph settings, but the method always involves a shrewdly chosen…

We define a new type of vertex coloring which generalizes vertex coloring in graphs, hypergraphs, and simplicial complexes. This coloring also generalizes oriented coloring, acyclic coloring, and star coloring. There is an associated…

Color Refinement, also known as Naive Vertex Classification, is a classical method to distinguish graphs by iteratively computing a coloring of their vertices. While it is mainly used as an imperfect way to test for isomorphism, the…

For a graph $G$ with a list assignment $L$ and two $L$-colorings $\alpha$ and $\beta$, an $L$-recoloring sequence from $\alpha$ to $\beta$ is a sequence of proper $L$-colorings where consecutive colorings differ at exactly one vertex. We…

We define vertex-colourings for edge-partitioned digraphs, which unify the theory of P-partitions and proper vertex-colourings of graphs. We use our vertex-colourings to define generalized chromatic functions, which merge the chromatic…

We study a reconstruction problem for colorings. Given a finite or countable set $X$, a coloring on $X$ is a function $\varphi: [X]^{2}\to \{0,1\}$, where $[X]^{2}$ is the collection of all 2-elements subsets of $X$. A set $H\subseteq X$ is…

We prove that the problem of counting the number of colourings of the vertices of a graph with at most two colours, such that the colour classes induce connected subgraphs is #P-complete. We also show that the closely related problem of…

We present a ``reasonable'' statement about Lie algebras that is equivalent to the Four Color Theorem. The notions appearing in the statement also appear in the theory of finite-type invariants of knots (Vassiliev invariants) and…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a hypergraph of maximal vertex degree $\Delta$, such that each its hyperedge contains at least $\delta$ vertices. Let $k=\lceil\frac{2\Delta}{\delta}\rceil$. We prove that (i) The hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ admits proper…

Let $r$ be an integer with $r\ge 2$ and $G$ be a connected $r$-uniform hypergraph with $m$ edges. By refining the broken cycle theorem for hypergraphs, we show that if $k>\frac{m-1}{\ln(1+\sqrt{2})}\approx 1.135 (m-1)$ then the $k$-list…

The main purpose of this paper is to define representations and a cohomology of color Hom-Lie algebras and to study some key constructions and properties. We describe Hartwig-Larsson-Silvestrov Theorem in the case of $\Gamma$-graded…

We extend theories of reverse mathematics by a non-principal ultrafilter, and show that these are conservative extensions of the usual theories ACA0, ATR0, and Pi11-Comprehension.

Given a graph $G$ and two graph homomorphisms $\alpha$ and $\beta$ from $G$ to a fixed graph $H$, the problem $H$-Recoloring asks whether there is a transformation from $\alpha$ to $\beta$ that changes the image of a single vertex at each…
