A $q$-coloring of $\mathbb Z$ is a random process assigning one of $q$ colors to each integer in such a way that consecutive integers receive distinct colors. A process is $k$-dependent if any two sets of integers separated by a distance…

In a recent paper by the same authors, we constructed a stationary 1-dependent 4-coloring of the integers that is invariant under permutations of the colors. This was the first stationary k-dependent q-coloring for any k and q. When the…

We use the Mallows permutation model to construct a new family of stationary finitely dependent proper colorings of the integers. We prove that these colorings can be expressed as finitary factors of i.i.d. processes with finite mean coding…

We prove that proper coloring distinguishes between block-factors and finitely dependent stationary processes. A stochastic process is finitely dependent if variables at sufficiently well-separated locations are independent; it is a…

We prove that every (possibly infinite) graph of degree at most $d$ has a 4-dependent random proper $4^{d(d+1)/2}$-coloring, and one can construct it as a finitary factor of iid. For unimodular transitive (or unimodular random) graphs we…

We prove the existence of a finitely dependent proper colouring of the integer lattice Z^d that is fully isometry-invariant in law, for all dimensions d. Previously this was known only for d=1, while only translation-invariant examples were…

We construct stationary finitely dependent colorings of the cycle which are analogous to the colorings of the integers recently constructed by Holroyd and Liggett. These colorings can be described by a simple necklace insertion procedure,…

We show that any finitely dependent invariant process on a transitive amenable graph is a finitary factor of an i.i.d. process. With an additional assumption on the geometry of the graph, namely that no two balls with different centers are…

The existence of stationary finitely dependent processes on combinatorial models like $\mathbb Z^d$ subshifts can be quite mysterious. For instance, Holroyd and Liggett constructed such processes on proper $4$-colorings of $\mathbb Z^d$ for…

Suppose that the vertices of ${\mathbb Z}^d$ are assigned random colors via a finitary factor of independent identically distributed (iid) vertex-labels. That is, the color of vertex $v$ is determined by a rule that examines the labels…

This paper is concerned with symmetric $1$-dependent colorings of the $d$-ray star graph $\mathscr{S}^d$ for $d \ge 2$. We compute the critical point of the $1$-dependent hard-core processes on $\mathscr{S}^d$, which gives a lower bound for…

In this paper, we consider infinite words that arise as fixed points of primitive substitutions on a finite alphabet and finite colorings of their factors. Any such infinite word exhibits a "hierarchal structure" that will allow us to…

We show that, for every $\epsilon>0$, the 4-regular tree has an fiid 4-coloring where a given vertex is assigned the 4th color with probability at most $\epsilon$. We also construct 5-colorings of $T_6$ improving known bounds on the…

In this short article, we study factor colorings of aperiodic linearly recurrent infinite words. We show that there always exists a coloring which does not admit a monochromatic factorization of the word into factors of increasing lengths.

Given positive integers $p,q$. For any integer $k\ge2$, an edge coloring of the complete $k$-graph $K_n^{(k)}$ is said to be a $(p,q)$-coloring if every copy of $K_p^{(k)}$ receives at least $q$ colors. The Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s…

We introduce the concepts of marked multi-colorings, marked chromatic polynomials, and marked (multivariate) independence series for hypergraphs. We show that the coefficients of the q-th power of the marked independence series of a…

For every even positive integer $k\ge 4$ let $f(n,k)$ denote the minimim number of colors required to color the edges of the $n$-dimensional cube $Q_n$, so that the edges of every copy of $k$-cycle $C_k$ receive $k$ distinct colors.…

We show that any finite-entropy, countable-valued finitary factor of an i.i.d process can also be expressed as a finitary factor of a finite-valued i.i.d process whose entropy is arbitrarily close to the target process. As an application,…

The Four color problem is closely related to other branches of mathematics and practical applications. More than 20 of its reformulations are known, which connect this problem with problems of algebra, statistical mechanics and planning.…

Our aim in this paper is to show that, for any $k$, there is a finite colouring of the set of rationals whose denominators contain only the first $k$ primes such that no infinite set has all of its finite sums and products monochromatic. We…
