Alon's conjecture on Ramsey Cayley graphs

About 19 years old · traced to

Let GG be a finite group. A Cayley graph of GG is formed from a symmetric subset S⊂GS\subset G by joining x,y∈Gx,y\in G when x−1y∈Sx^{-1}y\in S. Such a graph is CC-Ramsey if it has no clique or independent set of size larger than Clog⁡2∣G∣C\log_2|G|. Alon's conjecture. There exists some absolute constant C>0C>0 for which every finite group has a CC-Ramsey Cayley graph. The conjecture is the central motivation of the paper; the authors confirm it for groups of almost all orders, but the general case remains open.
