Abstract

For two correlated graphs which are independently sub-sampled from a common Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph G(n,p)\mathbf{G}(n, p), we wish to recover their \emph{latent} vertex matching from the observation of these two graphs \emph{without labels}. When p=nα+o(1)p = n^{-\alpha+o(1)} for α(0,1]\alpha\in (0, 1], we establish a sharp information-theoretic threshold for whether it is possible to correctly match a positive fraction of vertices. Our result sharpens a constant factor in a recent work by Wu, Xu and Yu.
