Luke Postle, Further progress towards Hadwiger’s conjecture
Zoom ID: 869 4632 6610 (ibsdimag)In 1943, Hadwiger conjectured that every graph with no $K_t$ minor is $(t-1)$-colorable for every $t\ge 1$. In the 1980s, Kostochka and Thomason independently proved that every graph with no $K_t$ minor has average degree $O(t\sqrt{\log t})$ and hence is $O(t\sqrt{\log t})$-colorable. Recently, Norin, Song and I showed that every graph with no $K_t$ minor is …
