We analyze some local properties of sparse Erdos-Renyi graphs, where $d(n)/n$ is the edge probability. In particular we study the behavior of very short paths. For $d(n)=n^{o(1)}$ we show that $G(n,d(n)/n)$ has asymptotically almost surely…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a cornerstone of modern physics, defining a wealth of phenomena in condensed-matter and high-energy physics, and beyond. It requires an infinite number of degrees of freedom, and even then, for continuous…
We investigate symmetric edge polytopes generated by Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graphs in a high-dimensional regime. These objects provide a natural and largely unexplored model of random lattice polytopes, in which geometric properties are…
We exploit a result by Nerman which shows that conditional limit theorems hold when a certain monotonicity condition is satisfied. Our main result is an application to vertex degrees in random graphs, where we obtain asymptotic normality…
Subgraph counts - in particular the number of occurrences of small shapes such as triangles - characterize properties of random networks, and as a result have seen wide use as network summary statistics. However, subgraphs are typically…
In the inhomogeneous random graph model, each vertex $i\in\{1,\ldots,n\}$ is assigned a weight $W_i\sim\text{Unif}(0,1)$, and an edge between any two vertices $i,j$ is present with probability $k(W_i,W_j)/\lambda_n\in[0,1]$, where $k$ is a…
In the field of complex networks and graph theory, new results are typically tested on graphs generated by a variety of algorithms such as the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi model or the Barab\'{a}si-Albert model. Unfortunately, most graph generating…
We consider random temporal graphs, a version of the classical Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph G(n,p) where additionally, each edge has a distinct random time stamp, and connectivity is constrained to sequences of edges with increasing time…
Exponential family Random Graph Models (ERGMs) can be viewed as expressing a probability distribution on graphs arising from the action of competing social forces that make ties more or less likely, depending on the state of the rest of the…
Network models with latent geometry have been used successfully in many applications in network science and other disciplines, yet it is usually impossible to tell if a given real network is geometric, meaning if it is a typical element in…
We are interested in the distribution of the number of faces across all the $2-$cell embeddings of a graph, which is equivalent to the distribution of genus by Euler's formula. In order to study this distribution, we consider the local…
We analyse the local geometric structure of self-similar sets with open set condition through the study of the properties of a distinguished family of spherical neighbourhoods, the typical balls. We quantify the complexity of the local…
In this paper, we study the entropy of a hard random geometric graph (RGG), a commonly used model for spatial networks, where the connectivity is governed by the distances between the nodes. Formally, given a connection range $r$, a hard…
We study the properties of random graphs where for each vertex a {\it neighbourhood} has been previously defined. The probability of an edge joining two vertices depends on whether the vertices are neighbours or not, as happens in Small…
Symmetry is a cornerstone of much of mathematics, and many probability distributions possess symmetries characterized by their invariance to a collection of group actions. Thus, many mathematical and statistical methods rely on such…
We study random graphs with latent geometric structure, where the probability of each edge depends on the underlying random positions corresponding to the two endpoints. We focus on the setting where this conditional probability is a…
We use random matrix theory to study the spectrum of random geometric graphs, a fundamental model of spatial networks. Considering ensembles of random geometric graphs we look at short range correlations in the level spacings of the…
In this work, we look at the symmetry of normal modes in symmetric structures, particularly structures with cyclic symmetry. We show that normal modes of symmetric structures have different levels of symmetry, or symmetricity. One novel…
Consider a `dense' Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph model $G=G_{n,M}$ with $n$ vertices and $M$ edges, where we assume the edge density $M/\binom{n}{2}$ is bounded away from 0 and 1. Fix $k=k(n)$ with $k/n$ bounded away from 0 and~1, and let…
We study the spatial Gibbs random graphs introduced in [MV16] from the point of view of local convergence. These are random graphs embedded in an ambient space consisting of a line segment, defined through a probability measure that favors…
