A variety of powerful extremal results have been shown for the chromatic number of triangle-free graphs. Three noteworthy bounds are in terms of the number of vertices, edges, and maximum degree given by Poljak \& Tuza (1994), and…

We have observations concerning the set theoretic strength of the following combinatorial statements without the axiom of choice. 1. If in a partially ordered set, all chains are finite and all antichains are countable, then the set is…

Let $\Delta(G)$ be the maximum degree of a graph $G$. Brooks' theorem states that the only connected graphs with chromatic number $\chi(G)=\Delta(G)+1$ are complete graphs and odd cycles. We prove a fractional analogue of Brooks' theorem in…

Given a metric space $\mathcal{M}$ that contains at least two points, the chromatic number $\chi\left(\mathbb{R}^n_{\infty}, \mathcal{M} \right)$ is defined as the minimum number of colours needed to colour all points of an $n$-dimensional…

This paper investigates when countable graphs have a finite or an infinite chromatic number through model theoretic methods. For Fra\"{i}ss\'{e} limits, we show that instability forces the chromatic number to be infinite, yielding a…

Let $f_{o}(G)$ be the maximum order of an odd induced subgraph of $G$. In 1992, Scott proposed a conjecture that $f_{o}(G)\geq \frac {n} {2\chi(G)}$ for a graph $G$ of order $n$ without isolated vertices, where $\chi(G)$ is the chromatic…

For $0 \leq \alpha < 1$, the $\alpha$-spectral radius of a graph $G$ is defined as the largest eigenvalue of $A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G)$, where $D(G)$ and $A(G)$ are the diagonal matrix of degrees and adjacency matrix of $G$,…

Let G be a triangle-free graph with maximum degree \delta(G). We show that the chromatic number \c{hi}(G) is less than 67(1 + o(1))\delta/ log \delta.

Given a graphic degree sequence $D$, let $\chi(D)$ (respectively $\omega(D)$, $h(D)$, and $H(D)$) denote the maximum value of the chromatic number (respectively, the size of the largest clique, largest clique subdivision, and largest clique…

The abstract chromatic number was introduced by Razborov and Coregliano in 2020 in using the language of model theory, and was used to extend the Erd\H os-Stone-Simonovits theorem to graphs with extra structures. A purely combinatorial…

The chromatic threshold $\delta_\chi(H,p)$ of a graph $H$ with respect to the random graph $G(n,p)$ is the infimum over $d > 0$ such that the following holds with high probability: the family of $H$-free graphs $G \subset G(n,p)$ with…

The acyclic chromatic index (or acyclic edge-chromatic number) of a graph is the least number of colors needed to properly color its edges so that none of its cycles has only two colors. We show that for a graph of max degree $\Delta$, the…

We introduce a conjecture about constructing critically (s+1)-chromatic graphs from critically s-chromatic graphs. We then show how this conjecture implies that any unmixed height two square-free monomial ideal I, i.e., the cover ideal of a…

The clique chromatic number of a graph is the minimum number of colors required to assign to its vertex set so that no inclusion maximal clique is monochromatic. McDiarmid, Mitsche and Pra\l at proved that the clique chromatic number of the…

The chromatic threshold of a graph $H$ is the minimum-degree density above which every $H$-free graph has bounded chromatic number. We study a two-color Ramsey analogue: for graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, we ask for the minimum-degree density…

An edge colouring $c$ of a graph $G$ is called conflic-free if every non-isolated edge of $G$ has a uniquely coloured neighbour in its open edge neighbourhood. The least number of colours admitting such a colouring is denoted by $\chi'_{\rm…

A strong edge colouring of a graph is an assignment of colours to the edges of the graph such that for every colour, the set of edges that are given that colour form an induced matching in the graph. The strong chromatic index of a graph…

Given a graph $G$, a vertex-colouring $\sigma$ of $G$, and a subset $X\subseteq V(G)$, a colour $x \in \sigma(X)$ is said to be \emph{odd} for $X$ in $\sigma$ if it has an odd number of occurrences in $X$. We say that $\sigma$ is an…

An $(a:b)$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ which maps the vertices of $G$ into $b$-element subsets of some set of size $a$ in such a way that $f(u)$ is disjoint from $f(v)$ for every two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$. The…

Let $\chi'_\subset(G)$ be the least number of colours necessary to properly colour the edges of a graph $G$ with minimum degree $\delta\geq 2$ so that the set of colours incident with any vertex is not contained in a set of colours incident…
