First order theory on $G(n, c n^{-1})$
Abstract
A well-known result of Shelah and Spencer tells us that the almost sure theory for first order language on the random graph sequence is not complete. This paper proposes and proves what the complete set of completions of the almost sure theory for should be. The almost sure theory consists of two sentence groups: the first states that all the components are trees or unicyclic components, and the second states that, given any and any finite tree , there are at least components isomorphic to . We define a -completion of to be a first order property , such that if holds for a graph, we can fully describe the first order sentences of quantifier depth that hold for that graph. We show that a -completion specifies the numbers, up to "cutoff" , of the (finitely many) unicyclic component types of given parameters (that only depend on ) that the graph contains. A complete set of -completions is then the finite collection of all possible -completions.
