Optimal thresholds for Latin squares, Steiner Triple Systems, and edge colorings
We show that the threshold for the binomial random 3-partite, 3-uniform hypergraph G^3((n,n,n),p) to contain a Latin square is Θ(logn/n). We also prove analogous results for Steiner triple systems and proper list edge-colorings of the complete (bipartite) graph with random lists. Our results answer several related questions of Johansson, Luria-Simkin, Casselgren-Häggkvist, Simkin, and Kang-Kelly-Kühn-Methuku-Osthus.
