The toroidal choice–chromatic gap conjecture for 3-chromatic graphs
The toroidal choice–chromatic gap conjecture for 3-chromatic graphs
Let denote the maximum of the difference between list-chromatic number and chromatic number over graphs embeddable on the orientable surface of genus with chromatic number . A graph is toroidal when it is embeddable on the orientable surface of genus . Toroidal gap conjecture.
This is equivalent to asserting that every -chromatic toroidal graph is -choosable. Resolving it would determine the maximum choice–chromatic gap for toroidal graphs; the source presents it as open.
