Abstract: Given a graphical degree sequence , let denote a uniformly random graph on vertex set [n] where vertex i has degree di for every 1leilen. We give upper and lower bounds on the joint probability of an arbitrary set of edges in . These upper and lower bounds are approximately what one would get in the configuration model, and thus the analysis in the configuration model can be translated directly to , without conditioning on that the configuration model produces a simple graph. Many existing results of in the literature can be significantly improved with simpler proofs, by applying this new probabilistic tool. One example we give is about the chromatic number of . In another application, we use these joint probabilities to study the connectivity of . When Delta2=o(M) where Delta is the maximum component of , we fully characterise the connectivity phase transition of . We also give sufficient conditions for being connected when Delta is unrestricted.
