## Abstract We prove that every oriented planar graph admits a homomorphism to the Paley tournament __P__~271~ and hence that every oriented planar graph has an antisymmetric flow number and a strong oriented chromatic number of at most 271. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 52: 200–210

✦ Synopsis
NeÄ setÄ ril and Raspaud (Ann. Inst. Fourier 49 (3) (1999) 1037-1056) deÿned antisymmetric ow, which is a variant of nowhere zero ow, and a dual notion to strong oriented coloring. We give an upper bound on the number of colors needed for a strong oriented coloring of a planar graph, and hereby we ÿnd a small antisymmetric ow for any planar graph. In the proof we use a result from combinatorial number theory-the existence of large Sidon sets.

## Abstract Given an edge coloring __F__ of a graph __G__, a vertex coloring of __G__ is __adapted to F__ if no color appears at the same time on an edge and on its two endpoints. If for some integer __k__, a graph __G__ is such that given any list assignment __L__ to the vertices of __G__, with |_

An __acyclic__ edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles. The __acyclic chromatic index__ of a graph is the minimum number __k__ such that there is an acyclic edge coloring using __k__ colors and is denoted by __a__′(__G__). It was conjectured by Al
