Abstract
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. © 2006 American Mathematical Society.
