Abstract

Using a Zq-generalization of a theorem of Ky Fan, we extend to Kneser hyper-graphs a theorem of Simonyi and Tardos that ensures the existence of multicolored complete bipartite graphs in any proper coloring of a Kneser graph. It allows to derive a lower bound for the local chromatic number of Kneser hypergraphs (using a natural definition of what can be the local chromatic number of a uniform hypergraph).
