In 1943, Hadwiger conjectured that every graph with no minor is t-colorable for every . While Hadwiger's conjecture does not hold for list-coloring, the linear weakening is conjectured to be true. In the 1980 s, Kostochka and Thomason independently proved that every graph with no minor has average degree and thus is -list-colorable.
Recently, the authors and Song proved that every graph with no minor is -colorable for every . Here, we build on that result to show that every graph with no minor is -list-colorable for every .
Our main new tool is an upper bound on the number of vertices in highly connected -minor-free graphs: We prove that for every , every -connected graph with no minor has vertices.

无K t小调的图的连通性和选择性
1943年,哈德维格(Hadwiger)猜想每个图都没有 未成年人是牛逼,每-colorable。虽然哈德维格的猜想不能满足于列表着色,但线性减弱被认为是正确的。在1980年代,Kostochka和Thomason独立证明了每张图都没有 未成年人平均学位 因此是 -list-colorable。
最近,作者和宋证明了每个图都没有 未成年人是 -每个颜色 。在此,我们以该结果为基础来显示每个图都没有 未成年人是 -list-colorable每个 。
我们的主要新工具是高度连接的顶点数量的上限 -次要图表:我们证明了 , 每一个 连接图无 未成年人 顶点。
