On the Critical Window for Adaptable 2-Colorability

RESUMO

We determine a sharp threshold for the adaptable 2-colorability of a random graph equipped with a uniformly random, not necessarily proper, red/blue coloring of the edges. To accomplish this, we characterize a family of subgraphs along with edge colorings whose inclusion or exclusion determines adaptable $2$-colorability. We further show that above the threshold, a long path with alternating edge colors is formed. We use this path to prove the existence of such a subgraph in the supercritical regime. We then provide and prove symmetric bounds on the critical window for $2$-adaptable colorability. Particularly, we prove bounds matching that of the critical windows for the giant component in the Erd$ő$s-R$é$nyi random graph model as well as the satisfiability of a random $2$-SAT instance. Finally, we show that below the critical window, the solution space of adaptable $2$-colorings remains connected, that is one can travel from one adaptable $2$-coloring to another by a sequence of $2$-colorings which differ on $O(\log{n})$ many vertices.
