Note on down-set thresholds

Probability 2024-05-22 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

Gunby-He-Narayanan showed that the logarithmic gap predictions of Kahn-Kalai and Talagrand (proved by Park-Pham and Frankston-Kahn-Narayanan-Park) about thresholds of up-sets do not apply to down-sets. In particular, for the down-set of triangle-free graphs, they showed that there is a polynomial gap between the threshold and the factional expectation threshold. In this short note we give a simpler proof of this result, and extend the polynomial threshold gap to down-sets of F-free graphs.
