[#R1433] Current status and exact unresolved remainder

claim. OPEN as checked on 2026-08-01. Strongest checked neighboring result: Every \(\aleph_1\)-chromatic graph contains all sufficiently large odd cycles, so a common subgraph of chromatic number three is guaranteed. Exact unresolved remainder: The first unknown guaranteed chromatic number is four; the countably infinite target is stronger.

1Summary

The problem was checked as open on 2026-08-01.

The strongest neighboring result found in the cited sources is: Every \(\aleph_1\)-chromatic graph contains all sufficiently large odd cycles, so a common subgraph of chromatic number three is guaranteed.

Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.

3Overview

The exact unresolved remainder is: The first unknown guaranteed chromatic number is four; the countably infinite target is stronger.

A complete resolution must meet the following acceptance conditions: - Prove the existence of a common \(4\)-chromatic subgraph for every pair, or construct a pair with no such common subgraph. - Resolve separately the stronger \(\aleph_0\)-chromatic version.
