Abstract
We show that the n-th power of the first Stiefel-Whitney class of the ℤ2-action on the graph complex Hom(C 2r+1, K n+2) is zero, confirming a conjecture by Babson and Kozlov. This yields a considerably simplified proof of their graph colouring theorem, which is also known as the Lovsz conjecture.
