On the chromatic number of rational five-space. (English) Zbl 0705.05034

Let \(Q^ 5\) denote the collection of all the rational points in \(E^ 5\) and let \(G(Q^ 5)\) denote the graph obtained by taking \(Q^ 5\) as its vertex set and connecting 2 points iff they are at a distance 1. There is shown that the graph \(G(Q^ 5)\) has chromatic number at least 6 and clique number 4.
