Product Measure Approximation of Symmetric Graph Properties
Abstract
In the study of random structures we often face a trade-off between realism and tractability, the latter typically enabled by assuming some form of independence. In this work we initiate an effort to bridge this gap by developing tools that allow us to work with independence without assuming it. Let be the set of all graphs on vertices and let be an arbitrary subset of , e.g., the set of graphs with edges. The study of random networks can be seen as the study of properties that are true for most elements of , i.e., that are true with high probability for a uniformly random element of . With this in mind, we pursue the following question: What are general sufficient conditions for the uniform measure on a set of graphs to be approximable by a product measure?
