Asymmetric coloring of locally finite graphs and profinite permutation groups: Tucker's Conjecture confirmed

L Babai - Journal of Algebra, 2022 - Elsevier
An asymmetric coloring of a graph is a coloring of its vertices that is not preserved by any
non-identity automorphism of the graph. The motion of a graph is the minimal degree of its …

Analogs of Brooks' Theorem for coloring parameters of infinite graphs and Konig's Lemma

A Banerjee, Z Molnár, A Gopaulsingh - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.00812, 2024 - arxiv.org
In the past, analogies to Brooks' theorem have been found for various parameters of graph
coloring for infinite locally finite connected graphs in ZFC. We prove these theorems are not …

Uniquely Distinguishing Colorable Graphs

M Korivand, N Soltankhah… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
A graph is called uniquely distinguishing colorable if there is only one partition of vertices of
the graph that forms distinguishing coloring with the smallest possible colors. In this paper …

[PDF][PDF] BROOKS-TYPE UPPER BOUNDS FOR COLORING PARAMETERS OF INFINITE GRAPHS AND KONIG'S LEMMA

A Banerjee, Z Molnár… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - researchgate.net
We prove that Brook's type theorems for several coloring parameters of infinite graphs,
which are true in ZFC, are not provable in ZF (ie, the Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory without …

Asymmetric colouring of locally compact permutation groups

F Lehner - Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Let G⩽ Sym (X) G\leqslantSym(X) be a group of permutations of a countable set X
X. Call a colouring of XX asymmetric if no g∈ G∖ id g∈G∖{id} preserves all colours. The …

Limit aperiodic and repetitive colorings of graphs

JAÁ López, RB Lijó - arXiv preprint arXiv:1807.09256, 2018 - arxiv.org
Let $ X $ be a (repetitive) infinite connected simple graph with a finite upper bound $\Delta $
on the vertex degrees. The main theorem states that $ X $ admits a (repetitive) limit …

The role of the Axiom of Choice in proper and distinguishing colourings

M Stawiski - arXiv preprint arXiv:2012.00141, 2020 - arxiv.org
Call a colouring of a graph distinguishing if the only automorphism which preserves it is the
identity. We investigate the role of the Axiom of Choice in the existence of certain proper or …

On asymmetric colourings of claw-free graphs

W Imrich, R Kalinowski, M Pilśniak… - The Electronic Journal …, 2021 - combinatorics.org
A vertex colouring of a graph is asymmetric if it is preserved only by the identity
automorphism. The minimum number of colours needed for an asymmetric colouring of a …

[PDF][PDF] Symmetry Breaking in Discrete Structures

R Bailey, D Boutin, W Imrich, T Tucker - Final Report, Oaxaca, 2018 - birs.ca
The distinguishing number or asymmetric coloring number of a group G on the set Ω,
denoted D (G, Ω) or ACN (G, Ω) is the smallest k such that there is a coloring of Ω by k colors …

Distinguishing infinite star-free graphs

M Stawiski - Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2025 - Elsevier
Call a vertex or an edge colouring of a graph distinguishing, if is not preserved by any non-
identity automorphism. For a graph H, we say that a graph G is H-free if there is no induced …
