Abstract
It is well known that a random subgraph of the complete graph has chromatic number w.h.p. Boris Bukh asked whether the same holds for a random subgraph of any -chromatic graph, at least in expectation. In this paper it is shown that for every graph, whose fractional chromatic number is at least , the fractional chromatic number of its random subgraph is at least with probability more than . This gives the affirmative answer for a strengthening of Bukh's question for the fractional chromatic number.
