Title
A note on the chromatic number of a dense random graph
Abstract
Let Gn,p denote the random graph on n labeled vertices, where each edge is included with probability p independent of the others. We show that for all constant pχ(Gn,p)≥n2log11−pn−2log11−plog11−pn−2log11−p2+o(1) holds with high probability. This improves the best known lower bound for the chromatic number of dense random graphs and shows in particular that the estimate χ(Gn,p)≥nα(Gn,p), where α denotes the independence number, is not tight.
