On the threshold for the Maker-Breaker $H$-game

Combinatorics 2014-01-20 v1

Abstract

We study the Maker-Breaker HH-game played on the edge set of the random graph Gn,pG_{n,p}. In this game two players, Maker and Breaker, alternately claim unclaimed edges of Gn,pG_{n,p}, until all the edges are claimed. Maker wins if he claims all the edges of a copy of a fixed graph HH; Breaker wins otherwise. In this paper we show that, with the exception of trees and triangles, the threshold for an HH-game is given by the threshold of the corresponding Ramsey property of Gn,pG_{n,p} with respect to the graph HH.
