Hypergraph coloring up to condensation

Discrete Mathematics 2018-04-16 v4 Combinatorics

Abstract

Improving a result of Dyer, Frieze and Greenhill [Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 2015], we determine the qq-colorability threshold in random kk-uniform hypergraphs up to an additive error of ln2+εq\ln 2+\varepsilon_q, where limqεq=0\lim_{q\to\infty}\varepsilon_q=0. The new lower bound on the threshold matches the "condensation phase transition" predicted by statistical physics considerations [Krzakala et al., PNAS 2007].
