We give a structural characterization of rainbow--free colorings of abelian groups. This characterization proves a conjecture of Jungi\\'c et al. on the size of the smallest chromatic class of a rainbow-free 3-coloring of cyclic groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-04-01T15:11:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05D10" ], "keywords": [ "abelian group", "smallest chromatic class", "cyclic groups", "arithmetic progression", "rainbow-free colorings" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1104.0194M" } } }
