A well known result of Erd\H{o}s and R\'enyi states that if p=nclognβ and G is a random graph constructed from G(n,p), G is a.a.s.
disconnected when c1. When c>1, we may equivalently say that G a.a.s. contains a spanning tree. We find
analogous thresholds in the setting of random edge-colored graphs.
Specifically, we consider a family G of nβ1 graphs on a common set
X of n vertices, each of a different color, and each randomly chosen from
G(n,p), with p=n2clognβ. We show that when c>2, there
a.a.s. exists a spanning tree on X using exactly one edge of each color, and
we show that such a spanning tree a.a.s. does not exist when c<2.Comment: It was discovered that the main result follows from Frieze, McKay,
