Entropy Transference for Rainbow-$H$-Free Colourings of Random Graphs
Abstract
Let be a fixed graph with and containing two adjacent edges, and let be fixed. We establish an entropy-transference principle for rainbow--free edge-colourings of the binomial random graph at the natural scale . Below a sufficiently small constant multiple of this scale, almost all host edges may be coloured freely; above a sufficiently large constant multiple, the exponential counting rate is governed exactly by a deterministic template-entropy optimisation on complete graphs. An exact Hall-palette inequality evaluates this rate throughout the universal range , where the dense-side base is , and a robust form yields counting stability below the endpoint. For arbitrary fixed , deletion-profile bounds determine the first-order many-colour behaviour and characterise when the -colour rate persists for every fixed number of colours. This extends the random Gallai-colouring transition from triangles to every fixed non-matching graph and provides a general mechanism for transferring dense template entropy to sparse random hosts.
