Abstract: As a strengthening of Hadwiger's conjecture, Gerards and Seymour conjectured that every graph with no odd $K_t$ minor is $(t-1)$-colorable. We prove two weaker variants of this conjecture. Firstly, we show that for each $tgeq2$, every graph with no odd $K_t$ minor has a partition of its vertex set into $6t-9$ sets $V_1,dots,V_{6t-9}$ such that each $V_i$ induces a subgraph of bounded maximum degree. Secondly, we prove that for each $tgeq2$, every graph with no odd $K_t$ minor has a partition of its vertex set into $10t-13$ sets $V_1,dots,V_{10t-13}$ such that each $V_i$ induces a subgraph with components of bounded size. The second theorem improves a result of Kawarabayashi (2008), which states that the vertex set can be partitioned into $496t$ such sets.
