summary

The paper proves that semiminimal Cayley graphs of abelian and generalized dihedral groups have circular chromatic number at most 4, extending earlier results and addressing a question of Babai.

Abstract

In 1978 Babai raised the question whether all semiminimal Cayley graphs have bounded chromatic number. In this paper we show that semiminimal Cayley graphs of abelian and generalized dihedral groups have circular chromatic number at most 4, thus extending a result of Barajas and Serra.
