We study the phase transition of the random degree constrained process (RDCP), a time-evolving random graph model introduced by Ruci\'nski and Wormald that generalizes the random $d$-process to the non-regular setting: each vertex of the…

Let $g$, $h$ be a random pair of generators of $G=Sym(n)$ or $G=Alt(n)$. We show that, with probability tending to $1$ as $n\to \infty$, (a) the diameter of $G$ with respect to $S = \{g,h,g^{-1},h^{-1}\}$ is at most $O(n^2 (\log n)^c)$, and…

Percolation has two mean-field theories, the Gaussian fixed point (GFP) and the Landau mean-field theory or the complete graph (CG) asymptotics. By large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, we systematically study the interplay of the GFP and CG…

Bounded-size rules are dynamic random graph processes which incorporate limited choice along with randomness in the evolution of the system. One starts with the empty graph and at each stage two edges are chosen uniformly at random. One of…

We study the largest component of a random (multi)graph on n vertices with a given degree sequence. We let n tend to infinity. Then, under some regularity conditions on the degree sequences, we give conditions on the asymptotic shape of the…

Let $G$ be a connected, locally finite, transitive graph, and consider Bernoulli bond percolation on $G$. We prove that if $G$ is nonamenable and $p > p_c(G)$ then there exists a positive constant $c_p$ such that \[\mathbf{P}_p(n \leq |K| <…

The phase transition in the size of the giant component in random graphs is one of the most well-studied phenomena in random graph theory. For hypergraphs, there are many possible generalisations of the notion of a component, and for all…

We consider a random graph on a given degree sequence ${\cal D}$, satisfying certain conditions. We focus on two parameters $Q=Q({\cal D}), R=R({\cal D})$. Molloy and Reed proved that Q=0 is the threshold for the random graph to have a…

We study the component structure of the random graph $G=G_{n,m,d}$. Here $d=O(1)$ and $G$ is sampled uniformly from ${\mathcal G}_{n,m,d}$, the set of graphs with vertex set $[n]$, $m$ edges and maximum degree at most $d$. If $m=\mu n/2$…

We study the locality of critical percolation on finite graphs: let $G_n$ be a sequence of finite graphs, converging locally weakly to a (random, rooted) infinite graph $G$. Consider Bernoulli edge percolation: does the critical probability…

In $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation on the vertex set of a graph $G$, a set $A$ of initially infected vertices spreads by infecting, at each time step, all uninfected vertices with at least $r$ previously infected neighbors. When the…

We study generic $d$-dimensional rigidity in sparse random graphs. Our main result is that for every $d\ge 2$, the Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph $G\sim G(n,c/n)$ undergoes a $d$-rigidity phase transition at the known, explicit,…

In this paper we study the component structure of random graphs with independence between the edges. Under mild assumptions, we determine whether there is a giant component, and find its asymptotic size when it exists. We assume that the…

Given a graph $G$, let $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$ which lie in the same connected component, and let $\mathrm{diam}^+(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$; so…

The diameter of a graph measures the maximal distance between any pair of vertices. The diameters of many small-world networks, as well as a variety of other random graph models, grow logarithmically in the number of nodes. In contrast, the…
