Hedetniemi conjectured in 1966 that for all graphs G and H. Here is the graph with vertex set defined by putting and adjacent if and only if and . This conjecture received a lot of attention in the past half century. Recently, Shitov refuted this conjecture. Let p be the minimum number of vertices in a graph of odd girth 7 and fractional chromatic number greater than . Shitov's proof shows that Hedetniemi's conjecture fails for some graphs with chromatic number about . In this paper, we show that the conjecture fails already for some graphs G and H with chromatic number and with and vertices, respectively. The currently known upper bound for p is 83. Thus Hedetniemi's conjecture fails for some graphs G and H with chromatic number 126, and with and vertices, respectively.
