Let S(G) denote the sum of the squares of the positive eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a graph G. Let m denote the number of edges and q the chromatic number. Is it true that S(G) is less than or equal to 2m(q-1)/q? This conjecture is exact for all bipartite graphs and correct for strongly regular, complete q-partite, regular two-graphs and (it appears) all Kneser graphs. It is not hard to prove, using a result due to Cvetkovic, that S(G) is less than or equal to 2m(n - a)/(n - a +1), where n is the number of vertices and a the independence number of G. It is well known that (q -1) is less than or equal to (n - a).
