Rational homotopy theory for computing colorability of simplicial complexes (Q2352521)

The authors study an interesting relation between rational homotopy theory and combinatorics. As a partial extension to work of \textit{L. Lechuga} and \textit{A. Murillo} [Topology 39, No. 1, 89--94 (2000; Zbl 0933.55014)], they show that a connected simplicial complex on a finite vertex set can be \((P,s)\)-colored if and only if the associated rational space which is essentially due to Lechuga and Murillo is non-elliptic.
