Mapping class groups of locally finite graphs are the analogue of those of infinite-type surfaces, and serve as a "big" version of $\text{Out}(F_n)$. In this paper, we investigate which of these mapping class groups have a dense conjugacy…

We investigate Ramsey properties of a random graph model in which random edges are added to a given dense graph. Specifically, we determine lower and upper bounds on the function $p=p(n)$ that ensures that for any dense graph $G_n$ a.a.s.…

Consider the setting of sparse graphs on N vertices, where the vertices have distinct "names", which are strings of length O(log N) from a fixed finite alphabet. For many natural probability models, the entropy grows as cN log N for some…
