Abstract

The mm-neighbor complex of a graph is the simplicial complex in which faces are sets of vertices with at least mm common neighbors. We consider these complexes for Erdos-Renyi random graphs and find that for certain explicit families of parameters the resulting complexes are with high probability (t1)(t-1)-dimensional with all (t2)(t-2)-faces and each (t1)(t-1)-face present with a fixed probability. Unlike the Linial-Meshulam measure on the same complexes there can be correlations between pairs of (t1)(t-1)-faces but we conjecture that the two measures converge in total variation for certain parameter sequences.
