Abstract

For a graph G and its complement G@?, we define the graph coloring polytope P(G) to be the convex hull of the incidence vectors of star partitions of G@?. We examine inequalities whose support graphs are webs and antiwebs appearing as induced subgraphs in G. We show that for an antiweb W@? in G the corresponding inequality is facet-inducing for P(G) if and only if W@? is critical with respect to vertex colorings. An analogous result is also proved for the web inequalities.
