Abstract

Let FF be an rr-vertex graph. In this paper, we study the FF-factor problem in random induced subgraphs of dense graphs. We show that for any rr-vertex graph FF and γ>0\gamma>0, if HH is an nn-vertex graph with minimum degree at least (11/χcr(F)+γ)n(1-1/\chi_{cr}(F)+\gamma)n, then for every fixed p(0,1)p \in (0,1), the random induced subgraph H[p]H[p] contains an FF-factor with probability at least 1/(rq)on(1)1/(rq)-o_n(1), where qNq\in \mathbb{N} is the order of certain coset group defined from HH. The probability is asymptotically best possible for infinitely many FF and HH and yields that a 1/(rq)on(1)1/(rq)-o_n(1) proportion of the subsets of HH induce FF-factors, interestingly, regardless of whether HH itself admits an FF-factor. Similar results are obtained for perfect matchings in hypergraphs under minimum degree conditions. Our proof combines concentration inequalities, lattice point counting in Zd\mathbb{Z}^d and structural theorems for FF-factors in dense (hyper)graphs.
