Goldberg's Conjecture is true for random multigraphs

In the 70s, Goldberg, and independently Seymour, conjectured that for any multigraph $G$, the chromatic index $\chi'(G)$ satisfies $\chi'(G)\leq \max \{\Delta(G)+1, \lceil\rho(G)\rceil\}$, where $\rho(G)=\max \{\frac {e(G[S])}{\lfloor |S|/2\rfloor} \mid S\subseteq V \}$. We show that their conjecture (in a stronger form) is true for random multigraphs. Let $M(n,m)$ be the probability space consisting of all loopless multigraphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, in which $m$ pairs from $[n]$ are chosen independently at random with repetitions. Our result states that, for a given $m:=m(n)$, $M\sim M(n,m)$ typically satisfies $\chi'(G)=\max\{\Delta(G),\lceil\rho(G)\rceil\}$. In particular, we show that if $n$ is even and $m:=m(n)$, then $\chi'(M)=\Delta(M)$ for a typical $M\sim M(n,m)$. Furthermore, for a fixed $\varepsilon>0$, if $n$ is odd, then a typical $M\sim M(n,m)$ has $\chi'(M)=\Delta(M)$ for $m\leq (1-\varepsilon)n^3\log n$, and $\chi'(M)=\lceil\rho(M)\rceil$ for $m\geq (1+\varepsilon)n^3\log n$.
