Krivelevich–Alon conjecture on the list chromatic number of bipartite graphs

Let GG be a bipartite graph with maximum degree at most Δ\Delta, and let kk be a positive integer. The graph is kk-choosable if every assignment of lists of kk colours to its vertices admits a proper colouring from those lists. Krivelevich–Alon conjecture. There is an absolute constant C>0C>0 such that GG is kk-choosable whenever kClogΔk\geq C\log\Delta. This conjecture extends the asymptotic behaviour of complete bipartite graphs to all bipartite graphs of maximum degree Δ\Delta. The source presents it as an open conjecture and notes that the paper's results give partial progress, especially in asymmetric cases.
