A fractional coloring of a graph $G$ is an assignment of non-negative weights to every independent set of $G$ in such a way that for every vertex $v$ of $G$, the sum of the weights of the independent sets containing $v$ is at least one. The weight of a fractional coloring is the total sum of the weights over all independent sets, and the fractional chromatic number is the smallest number $k$ such that there exists a fractional coloring of the weight $k$. In this talk, we show that every triangle-free graph with maximum degree 3 has fractional chromatic number at most $14/5$, thus confirming a conjecture of Heckman and Thomas.
This is joint work with Zdenek Dvorak and Jean-Sebastien Sereni.
