Abstract: Shelah Spencer [ShSp:304] proved the 0-1 law for the random graphs G(n,p_n), p_n=n^{- alpha}, alpha in (0,1) irrational (set of nodes in [n]= {1, ...,n}, the edges are drawn independently, probability of edge is p_n). One may wonder what can we say on sentences psi for which Prob (G(n,p_n) models psi) converge to zero, Lynch asked the question and did the analysis, getting (for every psi): EITHER [(alpha)] Prob [G(n,p_n) models psi]=cn^{- beta} + O(n^{- beta-epsilon}) for some epsilon such that beta >epsilon>0 OR [(beta)] Prob (G(n,p_n) models psi)= O(n^{-epsilon}) for every epsilon>0. Lynch conjectured that in case (beta) we have [(beta^+)] Prob (G(n,p_n) models psi)= O(e^{-n^epsilon}) for some epsilon>0. We prove it here.
