An independence graph of events, also called a dependency graph of events, has one vertex for each event , with independent of the entire family of events indexed by its nonneighbors. Precisely, is independent of the sigma-algebra generated by those events. Pairwise independence alone is insufficient.
The asymmetric Lovász local lemma says that if numbers satisfythen for a finite family. In the commonly used symmetric Lovász local lemma, if each probability is at most and the maximum graph degree is at most , the sufficient condition is
