Hadwiger's famous coloring conjecture states that every t-chromatic graph contains a Kt-minor. Holroyd [11] conjectured the following strengthening of Hadwiger's conjecture: If G is a t-chromatic graph and SV(G) takes all colors in every t-coloring of G, then G contains a Kt-minor rooted at S.

We prove this conjecture in the first open case of t=4. Notably, our result also directly implies a stronger version of Hadwiger's conjecture for 5-chromatic graphs as follows:

Every 5-chromatic graph contains a K5-minor with a singleton branch-set. In fact, in a 5-vertex-critical graph we may specify the singleton branch-set to be any vertex of the graph.

强化 Hadwiger 对 4 色图和 5 色图的猜想

Hadwiger 著名的着色猜想指出,每个t色图都包含一个Kt-次要的。Holroyd [11]推测了以下对 Hadwiger 猜想的强化:如果Gt色图并且  SVG获取G的每个t着色中的所有颜色,则G包含Kt-次要根于 S

我们在第一个公开案例中证明了这个猜想t=4。值得注意的是,我们的结果还直接暗示了 Hadwiger 对 5 色图的猜想的更强版本,如下所示:

每个 5 色图都包含一个K5-minor 具有单例分支集。事实上,在 5 顶点关键图中,我们可以将单例分支集指定为图的任何顶点。
