Palette Sparsification via FKNP

Combinatorics 2024-08-26 v1

Abstract

A random set SS is pp-spread if, for all sets TT, P(ST)pT.\mathbb{P}(S \supseteq T) \leq p^{|T|}. There is a constant C>1C>1 large enough that for every graph GG with maximum degree DD, there is a C/DC/D-spread distribution on (D+1)(D+1)-colorings of GG. Making use of a connection between thresholds and spread distributions due to Frankston, Kahn, Narayanan, and Park, a palette sparsification theorem of Assadi, Chen, and Khanna follows.
