Random triangles in random graphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In a recent paper, Oliver Riordan shows that for rge4 and p up to and slightly larger than the threshold for a Kr-factor, the hypergraph formed by the copies of Kr in G(n,p) contains a copy of the binomial random hypergraph H=Hr(n,pi) with pisimprchoose2. For r=3, he gives a slightly weaker result where the density in the random hypergraph is reduced by a constant factor. Recently, Jeff Kahn announced an asymptotically sharp bound for the threshold in Shamir's hypergraph matching problem for all rge3. With Riordan's result, this immediately implies an asymptotically sharp bound for the threshold of a Kr-factor in G(n,p) for rge4. In this note, we resolve the missing case r=3 by modifying Riordan's argument. This means that Kahn's result also implies a sharp bound for triangle factors in G(n,p).
