Combinatorial Nullstellensatz
Combinatorial Nullstellensatz is a novel theorem in algebra introduced by Noga Alon to tackle combinatorial problems in diverse areas of mathematics. This book focuses on the applications of this theorem to graph colouring. A key step in the applications of Combinatorial Nullstellensatz is to show that the coefficient of a certain monomial in the expansion of a polynomial is nonzero. The major part of the book concentrates on three methods for calculating the coefficients:
Alon-Tarsi orientation: The task is to show that a graph has an orientation with given maximum out-degree and for which the number of even Eulerian sub-digraphs is different from the number of odd Eulerian sub-digraphs. In particular this method is used to show that a graph whose edge set decomposes into a Hamilton cycle and vertex-disjoint triangles is 3-choosable and that every planar graph has a matching whose deletion results in a 4-choosable graph.
Interpolation formula for the coefficient: This method is in particular used to show that toroidal grids of even order are 3-choosable r-edge colourable r-regular planar graphs are r-edge choosable and complete graphs of order p+1 where p is a prime are p-edge choosable.
Coefficients as the permanents of matrices: This method is in particular used in the study of the list version of vertex-edge weighting and to show that every graph is (23)-choosable.
It is suited as a reference book for a graduate course in mathematics.
