Abstract
We introduce a density model for random quotients of a free product of finitely generated groups. We prove that a random quotient in this model has the following properties with overwhelming probability: if the density is below , the free factors embed into the random quotient and the random quotient is hyperbolic relative to the free factors. Further, there is a phase transition at , with the random quotient being a finite group above this density. If the density is below , the random quotient is cubulated relative to the free factors. Moreover, if the free factors are cubulated, then so is the random quotient.
