Iridescent labeling

We say that G is A-iridescent if it embeds as a rainbow subgraph in KA. An embedding of G in KA corresponds to an injective labeling λ : V(G) → A. For G to be a rainbow subgraph, all edges must have different sums.

Conjecture (Hovey)

Every n-vertex tree is Zn-iridescent. There’s something special about the cyclic group.

Non-iridescence

Conjecture (Hovey)

Every n-vertex tree is Zn-iridescent. There’s something special about the cyclic group.

Theorem

Let A be an Abelian group with order n and characteristic m. Let T be an n-vertex tree. If T has vertices u and v such that:

◮ d(u) ≡ d(v) ≡ 0 (mod m), ◮ d(x) ≡ 1 (mod m) for all x ∈ V(T) − {u, v}, and ◮ uv ∈ E(T),

then T is not A-iridescent. (Recall: the characteristic of A is the least m such that ma = 0 for all a ∈ A.)

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Non-iridescence

Corollary

Let A be an Abelian group with order n and characteristic m. Let T be a tree with at least two vertices. If n ≥ m |V(T)|, then T is contained in an n-vertex tree that is not A-iridescent. (Note: the condition that n ≥ m |V(T)| forces A to be non-cyclic.)

SLIDE 40

Non-iridescence

Corollary

Let A be an Abelian group with order n and characteristic m. Let T be a tree with at least two vertices. If n ≥ m |V(T)|, then T is contained in an n-vertex tree that is not A-iridescent. (Note: the condition that n ≥ m |V(T)| forces A to be non-cyclic.) On the other hand:

Proposition

Let A be an Abelian group of order n and let T be a tree. If n ≥ 2 |V(T)| − 2, then T is contained in some n-vertex A-iridescent tree. Thus iridescence is not a “local” property.

Theorem

Proof.

Call the spine vertices u and v. Suppose k ≡ −1 (mod m); now d(u) ≡ 0 (mod m). Since d(u) + d(v) = n, also d(v) ≡ 0 (mod m). Every other vertex is a leaf, and has degree 1.
