Erdős problem 753

The list chromatic number χL(G)\chi_L(G) is defined to be the minimal kk such that for any assignment of a list of kk colours to each vertex of GG (perhaps different lists for different vertices) a colouring of each vertex by a colour on its list can be chosen such that adjacent vertices receive distinct colours.

Alon [Al92] proved that, for every nn, there exists a graph GG on nn vertices such that χL(G)+χL(Gc)≪(nlog⁡n)1/2,\chi_L(G)+\chi_L(G^c)\ll (n\log n)^{1/2}, where the implied constant is absolute.
