For a finite graph \(G\) with \(d\) vertices we define a homogeneous symmetric function \(X_{4 ;}\) of degree \(d\) in the variables \(x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots\). If we set \(x_{1}=\cdots=x_{n}=1\) and all other \(x_{t}=0\), then we obtain \(Z_{1}(n)\), the chromatic polynomial of (; evaluated at \(n\).
A graph G is k-choosable if it admits a vertex-coloring whenever the colors allowed at each vertex are restricted to a list of length k. If Ο denotes the usual chromatic number of G, we are interested in which kind of G is Ο-choosable. This question contains a famous conjecture, which states that ev
