Babai's Minimal Cayley Graph Problem

resolvedconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as resolved. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

A Cayley graph is minimal when no proper subset of its connection set generates the group. Babai asked whether minimal Cayley graphs have bounded chromatic number. Resolved negatively: finite minimal Cayley graphs exist with arbitrarily large chromatic number.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.

What AI did

ChatGPT 5.6 Sol

The paper's statement of AI use: "An initial proof was found by ChatGPT 5.6 Sol given [DHY24] in the input. Substantial parts of Section 2 originate from an early draft created in interaction with ChatGPT 5.6 Sol, which was subsequently edited and improved by the authors." The model found the first proof, given one of the authors' own earlier papers as context.
