Nov 2, 2023 at 9:27 comment added Emil Jeřábek @HenrikRüping I believe $\chi(G)$ here denotes the chromatic number rather than the Euler characteristic.
Nov 2, 2023 at 8:35 comment added HenrikRüping $G\setminus\{v\}$ means removing all adjacent edges as well. If so, since the Euler-characteristic of a graph is the number of vertices minus the number of edges, vertex-cricical just means that at every vertex there are at least to edges. Thus for example $C_3\times C_2 \cong C_6$ is an example.

Nov 2, 2023 at 8:19 comment added Dominic van der Zypen @SamHopkins Actually, in the context of the tensor product, you don't need to explicitly exclude the one point graph $G_1$, because $G\times G_1$ is always a graph with no edges (all points are isolated), and vertex-critical graphs are always connected
Nov 2, 2023 at 8:14 comment added Dominic van der Zypen Thanks - I was thinking of the categorical product of graphs and will put this in the question. Apologies for the ambiguity.
Nov 1, 2023 at 19:07 comment added Sam Hopkins I think you should specify what product on graphs you are considering here (e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_product_of_graphs or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_product_of_graphs or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_product_of_graphs). Also clearly you mean to assume $H_1$ and $H_2$ have more than one vertex.
