The probabilistic Graham product conjecture

From papers

For graphs G1G_1 and G2G_2, let P1/2(G)P_{1/2}(G) denote the smallest number of pebbles in a randomly generated configuration that is solvable with probability at least 1/21/2. Probabilistic Graham conjecture. There is a universal constant CC such that

P1/2(G1×G2)CP1/2(G1)P1/2(G2).P_{1/2}(G_1\times G_2)\leq C P_{1/2}(G_1)\cdot P_{1/2}(G_2).

This is a probabilistic analogue of Graham's Conjecture for pebbling, which predicts a multiplicative bound for the pebbling number of Cartesian products. The conjecture is refuted by a counterexample involving the sequence of hypercubes QiQ_i.
