Note on random Latin squares and the triangle removal process

Combinatorics 2021-10-01 v1

Abstract

This is a companion note to the paper "Almost all Steiner triple systems have perfect matchings (arXiv:1611.02246). That paper contains several general lemmas about random Steiner triple systems; in this note we record analogues of these lemmas for random Latin squares, which in particular are necessary ingredients for our recent paper "Large deviations in random Latin squares" (arXiv:2106.11932). Most important is a relationship between uniformly random order-nn Latin squares and the triangle removal process on the complete tripartite graph Kn,n,nK_{n,n,n}.
