an improved bound for the list colouring conjecture

abstract:

the list colouring conjecture posits that the list edge chromatic number of any graph is equal to the edge chromatic number, and thus is at most d+1 where d is the maximum degree.  this means that if each edge is assigned a list of $d+1$ colours then it is always possible to obtain a proper edge colouring by choosing one colour from each list.

in the 1990's, khan proved that one can always obtain a proper edge colouring from lists of size $d+o(d)$, then molloy and reed obtained $d+d^{1/2}\mathrm{poly}(\log d)$.  we improve that bound to $d+d^{2/5}\mathrm{poly}(\log d)$
