Dense subgraphs in the H-free process

Combinatorics 2012-12-04 v2 Probability

Abstract

The H-free process starts with the empty graph on n vertices and adds edges chosen uniformly at random, one at a time, subject to the condition that no copy of H is created, where H is some fixed graph. When H is strictly 2-balanced, we show that for some c,d>0, with high probability as nn \to \infty, the final graph of the H-free process contains no subgraphs F on vFndv_F \leq n^{d} vertices with maximum density maxJF{eJ/vJ}c\max_{J \subseteq F}\{e_J/v_J\} \geq c. This extends and generalizes results of Gerke and Makai for the C_3-free process.
