Abstract:

Let X denote the number of triangles in the random graph G(n, p). The problem of determining the asymptotics of the rate of the upper tail of X, that is, the function f_c(n,p) = log Pr(X > (1+c)E[X]), has attracted considerable attention of both the combinatorics and the probability communities. We shall present a proof of the fact that whenever log(n)/n << p << 1, then f_c(n,p) = (r(c)+o(1)) n^2 p^2 log(p) for an explicit function r(c).

This is joint work with Matan Harel and Frank Mousset.
