Acyclic edge colourings of graphs with large girth

Abstract

An edge colouring of a graph G is called acyclic if it is proper and every cycle contains at least three colours. We show that for every >0, there exists a g=g() such that if G has girth at least g then G admits an acyclic edge colouring with at most (1+) colours.
