Abstract
We prove for graphs of sufficiently large maximum degree where is the strong chromatic index of G. This improves an old bound of Molloy and Reed. As a by-product, we present a Talagrand-type inequality where it is allowed to exclude unlikely bad outcomes that would otherwise render the inequality unusable.
