The diameter of random Cayley digraphs of given degree

Combinatorics 2007-06-26 v1

Abstract

We consider random Cayley digraphs of order nn with uniformly distributed generating set of size kk. Specifically, we are interested in the asymptotics of the probability such a Cayley digraph has diameter two as nn\to\infty and k=f(n)k=f(n). We find a sharp phase transition from 0 to 1 at around k=nlognk = \sqrt{n \log n}. In particular, if f(n)f(n) is asymptotically linear in nn, the probability converges exponentially fast to 1.
