Abstract

For a Δ\Delta-regular connected graph H{\sf H} the problem of determining the upper tail large deviation for the number of copies of H{\sf H} in G(n,p)\mathbb{G}(n,p), an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graph on nn vertices with edge probability pp, has generated significant interests. For p1p\ll 1 and npΔ/2(logn)1/(vH2)np^{\Delta/2} \gg (\log n)^{1/(v_{\sf H}-2)}, where vHv_{\sf H} is the number of vertices in H{\sf H}, the upper tail large deviation event is believed to occur due to the presence of localized structures. In this regime the large deviation event that the number of copies of H{\sf H} in G(n,p)\mathbb{G}(n,p) exceeds its expectation by a constant factor is predicted to hold at a speed n2pΔlog(1/p)n^2 p^{\Delta} \log (1/p) and the rate function is conjectured to be given by the solution of a mean-field variational problem. After a series of developments in recent years, covering progressively broader ranges of pp, the upper tail large deviations for cliques of fixed size was proved by Harel, Mousset, and Samotij \cite{hms} in the entire localized regime. This paper establishes the conjecture for all connected regular graphs in the whole localized regime.
