The chromatic symmetric function, introduced by Stanley, counts graph colourings, recording the number of vertices of each colour. I will talk about a K-theoretic analogue of the chromatic symmetric function, in which we are colouring each vertex with a set of colours (rather than a single colour), as well as some results and open questions for this new function. Joint work with Logan Crew and Oliver Pechenik.
