Cobounding odd cycle colorings
Electronic research announcements of the American Mathematical Society, Tome 12 (2006), pp. 53-55
We prove that the $(n-2)$nd power of the Stiefel-Whitney class of the space of all $n$-colorings of an odd cycle is $0$ by presenting a cochain whose coboundary is the desired power of the class. This gives a very short self-contained combinatorial proof of a conjecture by Babson and the author.
