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…
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…
Holroyd and Liggett recently proved the existence of a stationary 1-dependent 4-coloring of the integers, the first stationary k-dependent q-coloring for any k and q. That proof specifies a consistent family of finite-dimensional…
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…
Given the integral lattice $\Lambda^d$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, partitions of the lattice nodes into orbits of finite-index subgroups of $Aut(\Lambda^d)$ have been computed for $d \leq 4$. These partitions can be interpreted as…
It has been shown by van den Berg and Steif that the sub-critical Ising model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is a finitary factor of a finite-valued i.i.d. process. We strengthen this by showing that the factor map can be made to have finite expected…
We study and classify proper $q$-colorings of the $\mathbb Z^d$ lattice, identifying three regimes where different combinatorial behavior holds: (1) When $q\le d+1$, there exist frozen colorings, that is, proper $q$-colorings of $\mathbb…
Van der Waerden's (VDW) colouring theorem in combinatoric number theory [1] has scope for physical applications.The solution of the two colour case has enabled the construction of an explicit mapping of an infinite, one dimensional…
A proper $q$-coloring of a graph is an assignment of one of $q$ colors to each vertex of the graph so that adjacent vertices are colored differently. Sample uniformly among all proper $q$-colorings of a large discrete cube in the integer…
We present a self-contained proof of a strong version of van der Waerden's Theorem. By using translation invariant filters that are maximal with respect to inclusion, a simple inductive argument shows the existence of "piecewise…
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 develop the theory of the edge coloring of infinite lattice graphs, proving a necessary and sufficient condition for a proper edge coloring of a patch of a lattice graph to induce a proper edge coloring of the entire lattice graph by…
In this paper, we explore algebraic approaches to $d$-improper and $t$-clustered colourings, where the colouring constraints are relaxed to allow some monochromatic edges. Bilu [J. Comb. Theory Ser. B, 96(4):608-613, 2006] proved a…
We present an explicit family of hypergraphs with arbitrarily large uniformity and chromatic number that admit realizations in both geometric and number-theoretic settings. As an application, we give a new proof of a theorem of Chen, Pach,…
We consider infinite graphs. The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colours in a vertex colouring of $G$ that is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. An analogous invariant for edge colourings is…
The classical theorem of Vizing states that every graph of maximum degree $d$ admits an edge-coloring with at most $d+1$ colors. Furthermore, as it was earlier shown by K\H{o}nig, $d$ colors suffice if the graph is bipartite. We investigate…
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 show the existence of several infinite monochromatic patterns in the integers obtained as values of suitable symmetric polynomials. The simplest example is the following. For every finite coloring of the natural numbers…
We show that the two dimensional Ising model is complete, in the sense that the partition function of any lattice model on any graph is equal to the partition function of the 2D Ising model with complex coupling. The latter model has all…
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…
