Suppose kn≥ are positive integers. We denote by the set ][n}1,,1,0{−nL and denote by the family of all ⎟⎟⎠⎞⎜⎜⎝⎛kn][k-subsets of . Given a graph and positive integers ]n[Gnk,, a k-fold -colouring of is a mapping nG→Vf:⎟⎟⎠⎞kn][⎜⎜⎝⎛ such that for any edge xy of G, ∅=)∩()y(fxf. The kth chromatic number of G is defined as } has colouring- fold- ank:G{minn)(G=kχ. As a 1-fold -colouring is just an -colouring, we have nn)()(1GGχχ=. So )(Gkχ is a generalization of )(Gχ. The fractional chromatic number of G is defined as },,2,1K=:/kk)(Ginf{)(=Gkfχχ. Thus )()G(fGχχ≤. It is known that the gap )()(GGfχχ− can be arbitrarily large. However, as observed in [10], only a few type of graphs G are known to have arbitrarily large gaps between )(Gχ and )(Gfχ. One class of such graphs are the Kneser graphs. It is known [11] that for kn2≥, knkf/)),(nK(=χ. On the other hand, by Lovász Theorem [8], 22)),((+−=knknKχ. This prove that )()(GGfχχ− can be arbitrarily large, if G is Kneser graph. Another class of graphs G are obtained by cone constructions. Suppose ),(EVG= is a graph and is an integer. The -cone 0≥mm)(Gmμ of G is the graph with vertex set }{])1(u[mV∪+× in which ),)(,(jyix is an edge if Exy∈ and 1=−ji or Exy∈ and 0==ji. Moreover, the vertex u is adjacent to ),(mx for all Vx∈. We define )(,GtmK,,21mmμ recursively as ))(G(1m),,,32mmK(,,,21GtmmmKtmμμμ=. Given any graph H, it is known [3,9,12,14] that for for , for 1≥1≥iimHG=0 and )1−(=tGmtGμ, )(tG)ftG(χχ− can be arbitrarily large, although that exact value of the gap )()(tftGGχχ− might be difficult to determine As the kth chromatic number of graphs is a generalization of the chromatic number, it is natural to investigate the kth chromatic numbers of these graphs. The problem of determining the kth chromatic number of Kneser graphs, which is equivalent to the problem of determining existence of homomorphisms among Kneser graphs, has been studied in the literature [2,4,13]. It is known that if rqkk−=', where and 1≥q'0kr<≤ are integers, then rqnknKk2'))','((−≤χ. It was conjectured in [13] that equality holds. The conjecture is verified for 0=ror , but open for other cases. There are also many unsolved problems about this. In this project, we focus on the 1=qkth chromatic number of these graphs, and try to solve some problems.
