Given a non-abelian finite simple group $G$ of Lie type, and an arbitrary generating set $S$, it is conjectured by Laszlo Babai that its Cayley graph $\Gamma (G,S)$ will have a diameter of $(\log |G|)^{O(1)}$. However, little progress has…

The flip graph is the graph whose nodes correspond to non-isomorphic combinatorial triangulations and whose edges connect pairs of triangulations that can be obtained one from the other by flipping a single edge. In this note we show that…

We consider the following long range percolation model: an undirected graph with the node set $\{0,1,...,N\}^d$, has edges $(\x,\y)$ selected with probability $\approx \beta/||\x-\y||^s$ if $||\x-\y||>1$, and with probability 1 if…
