We consider limit probabilities of first order properties in random graphs with a given degree sequence. Under mild conditions on the degree sequence, we show that the closure set of limit probabilities is a finite union of closed…

The classical zero-one law for first-order logic on random graphs says that for any first-order sentence $\phi$ in the theory of graphs, as n approaches infinity, the probability that the random graph G(n, p) satisfies $\phi$ approaches…

Let $L_{c,n}$ denote the size of the longest cycle in $G(n,{c}/{n})$, $c>1$ constant. We show that there exists a continuous function $f(c)$ such that $ L_{c,n}/n \to f(c)$ a.s. for $c\geq 20$, thus extending a result of the author and…

We extend the convergence law for sparse random graphs proven by Lynch to arbitrary relational languages. We consider a finite relational vocabulary $\sigma$ and a first order theory $T$ for $\sigma$ composed of symmetry and…

We study the problem of distinguishing between two independent samples $\mathbf{G}_n^1,\mathbf{G}_n^2$ of a binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ by first order (FO) sentences. Shelah and Spencer proved that, for a constant $\alpha\in(0,1)$,…

We study the set ${\cal L}(G)$ of lengths of all cycles that appear in a random $d$-regular $G$ on $n$ vertices for a fixed $d\geq 3$, as well as in Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graphs on $n$ vertices with a fixed average degree $c>1$.…

Let us draw a graph R on {0,1,...,n-1} by having an edge {i,j} with probability p_(|i-j|), where sum_i p_i is finite and let M_n=(n,<,R). For a first order sentence psi let a^n_psi be the probability of ``M_n satisfies psi''. We prove that…

Shelah Spencer [ShSp:304] proved the 0-1 law for the random graphs G(n,p_n), p_n=n^{- alpha}, alpha in (0,1) irrational (set of nodes in [n]= {1, ...,n}, the edges are drawn independently, probability of edge is p_n). One may wonder what…

We consider first order expressible properties of random perfect graphs. That is, we pick a graph $G_n$ uniformly at random from all (labelled) perfect graphs on $n$ vertices and consider the probability that it satisfies some graph…

Let $L$ be subset of $\{3,4,\dots\}$ and let $X_{n,M}^{(L)}$ be the number of cycles belonging to unicyclic components whose length is in $L$ in the random graph $G(n,M)$. We find the limiting distribution of $X_{n,M}^{(L)}$ in the…

Let G_<(n,p) denote the usual random graph G(n,p) on a totally ordered set of n vertices. We will fix p=1/2 for definiteness. Let L^< denote the first order language with predicates equality (x=y), adjacency (x~y) and less than (x<y). For…

Let $\alpha\in(0,1)_\mathbb{R}$ be irrational and $G_n = G_{{n, 1/n}^\alpha}$ be the random graph with edge probability $1/n^\alpha$; we know that it satisfies the 0-1 law for first order logic. We deal with the failure of the 0-1 law for…

Given a graph $G$ and $p\in [0,1]$, the random subgraph $G_p$ is obtained by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p$. We show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a constant $C>0$ such that the following holds.…

In this work limit probabilities of first-order properties of the random $s$-uniform hypergraph in the binomial model $G^{s}(n,p)$ are studied. We give a complete discription of all positive $\alpha$ such that $G^{s}(n,n^{-\alpha})$ obeys…

For many standard models of random structure, first-order logic sentences exhibit a convergence phenomenon on random inputs. The most well-known example is for random graphs with constant edge probability, where the probabilities of…

We investigate the linear chromatic number $\chi_{\text{lin}}(G(n,p))$ of the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ on $n$ vertices in which each edge appears independently with probability $p=p(n)$. For dense random graphs ($np \to \infty$ as $n…

We investigate the threshold probability for connectivity of sparse graphs under weak assumptions. As a corollary this completely solve the problem for Cartesian powers of arbitrary graphs. In detail, let $G$ be a connected graph on $k$…

In this paper the limit probabilities of first-order properties are studied. The random graph $G(n,p)$ {\it obeys Zero-One $k$-Law} if for each first-order property with quantifier depth not greater than $k$ its probability tends to 0 or…

We consider random walks in the form of nearest-neighbor hopping on Erdos-Renyi random graphs of finite fixed mean degree c as the number of vertices N tends to infinity. In this regime, using statistical field theory methods, we develop an…

The spread of a connected graph G was introduced by Alon, Boppana and Spencer (1998) and measures how tightly connected the graph is. It is defined as the maximum over all Lipschitz functions f on V(G) of the variance of f(X) when X is…
