Abstract
In 1978, Alexander Schrijver defined the stable Kneser graphs as a vertex critical subgraphs of the Kneser graphs. In the early 2000s, Günter M. Ziegler generalized Schrijver’s construction and defined the s-stable Kneser graphs. Thereafter Frédéric Meunier determined the chromatic number of the s-stable Kneser graphs for special cases and formulated a conjecture on the chromatic number of the s-stable Kneser graphs. In this paper we study a generalization of the s-stable Kneser graphs. For some specific values of the parameter we show that the neighborhood complex of < s, t >-stable Kneser graph has the same homotopy type as the (t − 1)-sphere. In particular, this implies that the chromatic number of this graph is t + 1.
