Apr 8, 2022 at 21:01 comment added Louis D Also in the case of finite graphs, this would give by far the best known approximate version of Hadwiger's conjecture (only off by 1).
Apr 8, 2022 at 20:41 comment added Louis D Unless I'm missing some subtle difference, it seems like you already asked this question three months ago... mathoverflow.net/questions/413206/…
Apr 8, 2022 at 12:26 comment added Will Sawin Your conjecture cannot be weaker because it includes graphs as a special case.
Apr 8, 2022 at 9:25 comment added Dominic van der Zypen @WillSawin If you replace hyperedges by cliques, you change the chromatic number. For instance if ${\cal E}$ is a countable collection of infinite subsets of $\omega$, then $(\omega, {\cal E})$ is colorable with $2$ colors, but if you replace every hyperedge with a clique, then the resulting graph has chromatic number $\aleph_0$. So this conjecture is much weaker.
Apr 8, 2022 at 2:46 comment added Zach Hunter for the graph case, is it possible that not being $\kappa$-colorable could be weakened to not being $(\kappa-1)$-degenerate?
Apr 7, 2022 at 20:03 comment added Will Sawin By replacing hyperedges with cliques, this conjecture would follow from the special case of graphs, so there is no need to consider hypergraphs.
