A note on recognizing an old friend in a new place: list coloring and the zero-temperature Potts model
Annales de l’Institut Henri Poincaré D, Tome 1 (2014) no. 4, pp. 429-442.

Here we observe that list coloring in graph theory coincides with the zero-temperature antiferromagnetic Potts model with an external �field. We give a list coloring polynomial that equals the partition function in this case. Th�is is analogous to the connection between the chromatic polynomial and the zero-temperature, zero-fi�eld, antiferromagnetic Potts model. Th�e subsequent cross fertilization yields immediate results for the Potts model and suggests new research directions in list coloring.
