Abstract
We study colorings of the hyperbolic plane, analogously to the Hadwiger-Nelson problem for the Euclidean plane. The idea is to color points using the minimum number of colors such that no two points at distance exactly are of the same color. The problem depends on and, following a strategy of Kloeckner, we show linear upper bounds on the necessary number of colors. In parallel, we study the same problem on -regular trees and show analogous results. For both settings, we also consider a variant which consists in replacing with an interval of distances.
