Abstract: | In their seminal work which initiated random graph theory Erdös and Rényi discovered that many graph properties have sharp thresholds as the number of vertices tends to infinity. We prove a conjecture of Linial that every monotone graph property has a sharp threshold. This follows from the following theorem. Let denote the Hamming space endowed with the probability measure defined by , where . Let be a monotone subset of . We say that is symmetric if there is a transitive permutation group on such that is invariant under . Theorem. For every symmetric monotone , if then for . ( is an absolute constant.) |
