Upper bounds on the non-3-colourability threshold of random graphs
We present a full analysis of the expected number of 'rigid' 3-colourings of a sparse random graph. This shows that, if the average degree is at least 4.99, then as n → ∞ the expected number of such colourings tends to 0 and so the probability that the graph is 3-colourable tends to 0. (Th...
