Abstract

This paper is devoted to the problem concerning the chromatic number of a random 3-uniform hypergraph. We consider the binomial model H(n, 3, p) and show that if p= p(n) decreases fast enough then the chromatic number of H(n, 3, p) is concentrated in 2 or 3 consecutive values which can be found explicitly as functions of n and p. This result is derived as an application of the solution of an extremal problem for doubly stochastic matrices.
