If the graph G is locally countable or acyclic then (II) can be strengthened by the requirement that the homomorphism is a 1-1 map, i.e. an embedding. As the second main result we prove that Sigma^1_2 graphs admit the dichotomy (I) vs. (II) in set--generic extensions of the constructible universe L (although now (I) and (II) may be in general compatible). In this case (I) can be strengthened to the existence of a Delta^1_3 colouring by countable ordinals provided the graph is locally countable. The proofs are based on a topology generated by $\\od$ sets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1996-06-05T00:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "generic models", "definable graphs", "solovay model", "locally countable" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1996math......6205K" } } }
