Negative edge correlation in complete bipartite graphs
We prove strict pairwise negative correlation under both the uniform forest measure and the uniform connected-subgraph measure on the complete bipartite graph $K_{m,n}$ for all $m,n\geq2$. Under the connected-subgraph measure, any two distinct edges of a fixed copy of $K_{2,2}$ remain strictly negatively correlated after conditioning on the subgraph induced by the remaining vertices.
