On the weak chromatic number of random hypergraphs. (English) Zbl 1435.05182

Summary: The paper deals with weak chromatic numbers of random hypergraphs. Recall that a vertex coloring is said to be \(j\)-proper for a hypergraph if every \(j + 1\) vertices of any edge do not share a common color. The \(j\)-chromatic number of a hypergraph is the minimum number of colors required for a \(j\)-proper coloring. We study the \(j\)-chromatic number of a random hypergraph in the binomial model \(H (n, k, p)\) in the case \(j = k - 2\) and investigate, for fixed \(r\), the threshold for the property that \(( k - 2)\)-chromatic number of \(H (n, k, p)\) does not exceed \(r\). This threshold corresponds to the sparse case, when \(p = c n / \begin{pmatrix} n \\ k\end{pmatrix}\) for a fixed parameter \(c > 0\) and the main result gives the tight bounds for it.
