Abstract

Consider two independent Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi G(N,1/2)G(N,1/2) graphs. We show that with probability tending to 11 as NN\to\infty, the largest induced isomorphic subgraph has size either xNεN\lfloor x_N-\varepsilon_N\rfloor or xN+εN\lfloor x_N+\varepsilon_N \rfloor, where xN=4log2N2log2log2N2log2(4/e)+1x_N=4\log_2 N -2 \log_2 \log_2 N - 2\log_2(4/e)+1 and εN=(4log2N)1/2\varepsilon_N = (4\log_2 N)^{-1/2}. Using similar techniques, we also show that if Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2 are independent G(n,1/2)G(n,1/2) and G(N,1/2)G(N,1/2) random graphs, then Γ2\Gamma_2 contains an isomorphic copy of Γ1\Gamma_1 as an induced subgraph with high probability if nyNεNn\le \lfloor y_N - \varepsilon_N \rfloor and does not contain an isomorphic copy of Γ1\Gamma_1 as an induced subgraph with high probability if n>yN+εNn>\lfloor y_N+\varepsilon_N \rfloor, where yN=2log2N+1y_N=2\log_2 N+1 and εN\varepsilon_N is as above.
