Homotopies and transcendental extensions in colouring problems
Wojciech Duliński
Abstract:The goal of this paper is to show some new applications and possible generalizations of the oriented volume method applied to the polytope colouring problems. This approach originated from the work of McLennan and Tourky ([1]), several sources attribute some role in the development of this technique to John Milnor as well. The advantage of this method lies in its geometric nature, appealing to the intuitions from the theory of manifolds and from elementary notions of the homotopy theory. We use some well-known… Show more
