Abstrakt:
Macajova, Raspaud and Skoviera defined the chromatic number of a signed graph which coincides for all-positive signed graphs with the chromatic number of unsigned graphs. They conjectured that in this setting, for signed planar graphs four colors are always enough, thereby generalising The Four Color Theorem. We disprove the conjecture.
