In this paper we consider the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph in the sparse regime in the limit as the number of vertices $n$ tends to infinity. We are interested in what this graph looks like when it contains many triangles, in two…

Local convergence of bounded degree graphs was introduced by Benjamini and Schramm. This result was extended further by Lyons to bounded average degree graphs. In this paper we study the convergence of random tree sequences with given…

Random graphs with a given degree sequence are often constructed using the configuration model, which yields a random multigraph. We may adjust this multigraph by a sequence of switchings, eventually yielding a simple graph. We show that,…

In this paper we introduce a general framework for the study of limits of relational structures in general and graphs in particular, which is based on a combination of model theory and (functional) analysis. We show how the various…

We consider first passage percolation on sparse random graphs with prescribed degree distributions and general independent and identically distributed edge weights assumed to have a density. Assuming that the degree distribution satisfies a…

In this paper we focus on the problem of the degree sequence for the following random graph process. At any time-step $t$, one of the following three substeps is executed: with probability $\alpha_1$, a new vertex $x_t$ and $m$ edges…

We show that the local weak limit of a sequence of finite expander graphs with uniformly bounded degree is an ergodic (or extremal) unimodular random graph. In particular, the critical probability of percolation of the limiting random graph…

Let G_n be the random graph on [n]= {1, ...,n} with the possible edge {i,j} having probability being p_{|i-j|}= 1/|i-j|^alpha, alpha in (0,1) irrational. We prove that the zero one law (for first order logic) holds. The paper is continued…

In this work, which was inspired by the article [2] by M. V. Velasco and A. R. Villena, we obtain a characterization for probably continuous operators and show that the probability of a linear random operator being continuous coincides with…

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…

For some geometric graph classes, tractability of testing first-order formulas is precisely characterised by the graph parameter twin-width. This was first proved for interval graphs among others in [BCKKLT, IPEC '22], where the equivalence…

We study preferential attachment mechanisms in random graphs that are parameterized by (i) a constant bias affecting the degree-biased distribution on the vertex set and (ii) the distribution of times at which new vertices are created by…

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…
