Hedetniemi conjectured in 1966 that χ(G×H)=min{χ(G),χ(H)} for all graphs G and H. Here G×H is the graph with vertex set V(G)×V(H) defined by putting (x,y) and (x,y) adjacent if and only if xxE(G) and yyE(H). 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 3+4/(p1). Shitov's proof shows that Hedetniemi's conjecture fails for some graphs with chromatic number about p33p. In this paper, we show that the conjecture fails already for some graphs G and H with chromatic number 3p+12 and with p(p1)/2 and 3p+12(p+1)p 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 3,403 and 10,501 vertices, respectively.

Hedetniemi猜想的相对较小的反例

赫迪涅米(Hedetniemi)在1966年推测 χG×H={χGχH}对于所有的图ģħ。这里G×H 是顶点集的图 VG×VH 通过放置定义 XÿXÿ 当且仅当 XXËGÿÿËH。在过去的半个世纪中,这一猜想受到了很多关注。最近,Shitov驳斥了这一猜想。设p为奇数周长7和分数色数大于的图中最小的顶点数3+4/p-1个。Shitov的证明表明,Hedetniemi的猜想对于某些色度数约为p33p。在本文中,我们表明,对于某些色数为GH的图形,猜想已经失效3p+1个2pp-1个/23p+1个2p+1个-p顶点。当前已知的p的上限是83。因此,对于某些色度数为126的图形GH,Hedetniemi的猜想失败了。340310501 顶点。
