Abstract

Quasi-random graphs can be informally described as graphs whose edge distribution closely resembles that of a truly random graph of the same edge density. Recently, Shapira and Yuster proved the following result on quasi-randomness of graphs. Let k2k \ge 2 be a fixed integer, α1,...,αk\alpha_1,...,\alpha_k be positive reals satisfying iαi=1\sum_{i} \alpha_i = 1 and (α1,...,αk)(1/k,...,1/k)(\alpha_1,..., \alpha_k) \neq (1/k,...,1/k), and GG be a graph on nn vertices. If for every partition of the vertices of GG into sets V1,...,VkV_1,..., V_k of size α1n,...,αkn\alpha_1 n,..., \alpha_k n, the number of complete graphs on kk vertices which have exactly one vertex in each of these sets is similar to what we would expect in a random graph, then the graph is quasi-random. However, the method of quasi-random hypergraphs they used did not provide enough information to resolve the case (1/k,...,1/k)(1/k,..., 1/k) for graphs. In their work, Shapira and Yuster asked whether this case also forces the graph to be quasi-random. Janson also posed the same question in his study of quasi-randomness under the framework of graph limits. In this paper, we positively answer their question.
