Star chromatic index of complete graphs ★★

Author(s): Dvorak; Mohar; Samal

Conjecture   Is it possible to color edges of the complete graph $ K_n $ using $ O(n) $ colors, so that the coloring is proper and no 4-cycle and no 4-edge path is using only two colors?

Equivalently: is the star chromatic index of $ K_n $ linear in $ n $?

Crossing numbers and coloring ★★★

Author(s): Albertson

We let $ cr(G) $ denote the crossing number of a graph $ G $.

Conjecture   Every graph $ G $ with $ \chi(G) \ge t $ satisfies $ cr(G) \ge cr(K_t) $.

Double-critical graph conjecture ★★

Author(s): Erdos; Lovasz

A connected simple graph $ G $ is called double-critical, if removing any pair of adjacent vertexes lowers the chromatic number by two.

Conjecture   $ K_n $ is the only $ n $-chromatic double-critical graph

Coloring and immersion ★★★

Author(s): Abu-Khzam; Langston

Conjecture   For every positive integer $ t $, every (loopless) graph $ G $ with $ \chi(G) \ge t $ immerses $ K_t $.

The Crossing Number of the Complete Graph ★★★

Author(s):

The crossing number $ cr(G) $ of $ G $ is the minimum number of crossings in all drawings of $ G $ in the plane.

Conjecture   $ \displaystyle cr(K_n) = \frac 14 \floor{\frac n2} \floor{\frac{n-1}2} \floor{\frac{n-2}2} \floor{\frac{n-3}2} $

Keywords: complete graph; crossing number
