Johansson's Latin-square threshold conjecture

For each nn, independently include each symbol in each list Lij{1,,n}L_{ij}\subseteq\{1,\dots,n\} with probability pp, and let FLatin\mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{Latin}} be the property that there is a Latin square whose entry in position (i,j)(i,j) belongs to LijL_{ij}. Johansson's Latin-square threshold conjecture. The property FLatin\mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{Latin}} has a sharp threshold at

p=lognn.p=\frac{\log n}{n}.

The scale is forced by the local obstruction of empty lists; the conjecture also concerns the corresponding asymptotic, first-order, and hitting-time behavior, while the supplied statement records only sharpness at this scale.
