Diameter Thresholds of Random Cayley Graphs
Abstract
Given a group , the model denotes the probability space of all Cayley graphs of where each element of is included in the generating set independently at random with probability . In this article, we investigate the threshold probabilities for the diameter of random graphs in this model. Specifically, let , where is any fixed real number. We show that for any , any family of groups of order for which , and any integer , a graph with high probability has diameter at most if , and diameter greater than if . Up to a constant factor, these thresholds are similar to those for the usual Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs. However, the precise thresholds in our model depend on the underlying family of groups. We provide specific examples of group families demonstrating that both of our bounds are best possible.
