List coloring triangle-free hypergraphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A triangle in a hypergraph is a collection of distinct vertices u,v,w and distinct edges e,f,g with u,v in e, v,w in f, w,u in g, and {u,v,w} cap e cap f cap g=emptyset. The i-degree of a vertex in a hypergraph is the number of edges of size i containing it. We prove that every triangle-free hypergraph of rank three (edges have size two or three) with maximum 3-degree Delta_3 and maximum 2-degree Delta_2 has list chromatic number at most c max{Delta_2/ log{Delta_2}}, (Delta_3 / log{Delta_3})^(1/2)} for some absolute positive constant c. This generalizes a result of Johansson and a result of Frieze and the second author.
