| contents | Given a sequence of $r$-uniform hypergraphs $H_n$, denote by $T(H_n)$ the number of monochromatic hyperedges when the vertices of $H_n$ are colored uniformly at random with $c = c_n$ colors. In this paper, we study the joint distribution of monochromatic hyperedges for hypergraphs with multiple layers (multiplex hypergraphs). Specifically, we consider the joint distribution of ${\bf T} _n:= (T(H_n^{(1)}), T(H_n^{(2)}))$, for two sequences of hypergraphs $H_n^{(1)}$ and $H_n^{(2)}$ on the same set of vertices. We will show that the joint distribution of ${\bf T}_n$ converges to (possibly dependent) Poisson distributions whenever the mean vector and the covariance matrix of ${\bf T}_n$ converge. In other words, the joint Poisson approximation of ${\bf T}_n$ is determined only by the convergence of its first two moments. This generalizes recent results on the second moment phenomenon for Poisson approximation from graph coloring to hypergraph coloring and from marginal convergence to joint convergence. Applications include generalizations of the birthday problem, counting monochromatic subgraphs in randomly colored graphs, and counting monochromatic arithmetic progressions in randomly colored integers. Extensions to random hypergraphs and weighted hypergraphs are also discussed. |
