Chromatic numbers of infinite abelian Cayley graphs
The recent striking progress on the chromatic number of the plane by de Grey arises from the interesting fact that certain Cayley graphs have large chromatic number; namely, the graph whose vertices ...

Total coloring conjecture for Cayley graphs
The total coloring conjecture (TCC) states that any total coloring of a simple graph $G(V,E)$ has its total chromatic number bounded as $\chi^{T}(G)\le \Delta+2$ where $\Delta $ is the maximal degree ...

Edge coloring of a graph on alternating groups
Let $G$ be the Cayley graph on the alternating group $A_n\,n\ge4$ with generating set $$S=\begin{cases}\{(1,2,3),(1,3,2),\\(1,2,\ldots,n),(1,n,n-1,\ldots,2)\}, &n\ \text{odd}\\ \{(1,2,3),(1,3,2),\\...

Difference in chromatic number between Schreier coset graphs and Cayley graphs
Can the Schreier coset graphs can be seen as a subgraph of Cayley graph on the same groups(neglecting the loop edges) and, hence, have their chromatic numbers bounded by the chromatic numbers of the ...

Circulant graphs chromatically dominated by powers of cycles
Suppose we can color the vertices of powers of cycles $C_n^k$ using $c$ colors such that each of the color classes $c_i$ have $v_i$ number of vertices. Can we always color the circulant of degree $2k$ ...

Chromatic number of certain graphs with high maximum degree
Let $G$ be the graph of even order $n$ and size $\ge\frac{n^2}{4}$ which is a Cayley graph on a nilpotent group but not complete. Can the chromatic number of this graph be determined in polynomial ...

Are all even regular undirected Cayley graphs of Class 1?
Are even order Cayley graphs of Class 1, that is, can they be edge-colored with exactly $m$ colors, where $m$ is the degree of each vertex?
I think yes, because of the symmetry the Cayley graphs ...

coloring infinite vertex transitive graph without large cliques
Let $G$ be an infinite vertex-transitive graph (this means that for every $u,w \in V(G)$ there exists an automorphism $\tau$ of $G$ such that $\tau(u) = v$).
We assume that $G$ is undirected, and does ...

Bound on chromatic number of graphs on any finite $p$-group
Is the chromatic number of a Cayley graph on $p$-groups with any generating set bounded by the chromatic number of the maximal induced circulant subgraph?
I think yes. Because for one, the main ...

Extending the vertex coloring of circulant graph to graph on $p$-group
Let $G_1$ be a circulant graph of prime order $p$. This implies that $G_1$ is the Cayley graph on $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with some generating set $S_1$. I am interested in knowing the characterizations of the ...

Procedure to color the edges of a circulant graph
From the first theorem in this paper, it is clear that a cayley graph on abelian group for all generating sets of even order is class $1$, that is can be edge colored in exactly $\Delta$ colors. But, ...
