Abstract

For a graph GG and a hereditary property P\mathcal{P}, let ex(G,P)\text{ex}(G,\mathcal{P}) denote the maximum number of edges of a subgraph of GG that belongs to P\mathcal{P}. We prove that for every non-trivial hereditary property P\mathcal{P} such that LPL \notin \mathcal{P} for some bipartite graph LL and for every fixed p(0,1)p \in (0,1) we have ex(G(n,p),P)n2ε\text{ex}(G(n,p),\mathcal{P}) \le n^{2-\varepsilon} with high probability, for some constant ε=ε(P)>0\varepsilon = \varepsilon(\mathcal{P})>0. This answers a question of Alon, Krivelevich and Samotij.
