Abstract This paper extends the scenario of the Four Color Theorem in the following way. Let \(\fancyscript{H}_{d,k}\) be the set of all \(k\)-uniform hypergraphs that can be (linearly) embedded into \(\mathbb {R}^d\). We investigate lower and upper bounds on the maximum (weak) chromatic number of hypergraphs in \(\fancyscript{H}_{d,k}\). For example, we can prove that for \(d\ge 3\) there are hypergraphs in \(\fancyscript{H}_{2d-3,d}\) on \(n\) vertices whose chromatic number is \(\Omega (\log n/\log \log n)\), whereas the chromatic number for \(n\)-vertex hypergraphs in \(\fancyscript{H}_{d,d}\) is bounded by \({\mathcal {O}}(n^{(d-2)/(d-1)})\) for \(d\ge 3\). |
