On lower bounds for the chromatic number of spheres (Q2313602)

The author considers the problem of the chromatic number of a sphere of radius \(r\) in the space \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(\chi(S_r^{n-1})\), defined as the minimum number of colors needed to color all points of the sphere with no points of one color at distance 1 from each other. The author gives new, very valuable bounds on the parameter \(\chi(S_r^{n-1})\) (Theorems 2 and 3), much better than the ones known earlier.
