Using Lang-Weil bound and Gowers' mixing inequality for quasirandom groups, we will establish lower bounds on the chromatic number of these graphs. This provides a lower bound for the chromatic number of Cayley graphs of the regular graphs associated to the ring of $n\\times n$ matrices over finite fields. Using Weil's bound for Kloosterman sums we will also prove an analogous result for $\\mathrm{SL}_2$ over finite rings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-08T02:25:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "chromatic number", "structured cayley graphs", "algebraic groups", "finite fields", "algebraic constructions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
