Abstract
Let G(n,m) be a random graph whose average degree d=2m/n is below the k-colorability threshold. If we sample a k-coloring \SIGMA of G(n,m) uniformly at random, what can we say about the correlations between the colors assigned to vertices that are far apart?
According to a prediction from statistical physics, for average degrees below the so-called {\em condensation threshold} \dc, the colors assigned to far away vertices are asymptotically independent [Krzakala et al.: Proc. National Academy of Sciences 2007].
We prove this conjecture for k exceeding a certain constant k_0. More generally, we investigate the joint distribution of the k-colorings that \SIGMA induces locally on the bounded-depth neighborhoods of any fixed number of vertices. In addition, we point out an implication on the reconstruction problem.
