Abstract:

Consider the random graph $G(n,p),$ where $p=p(n)$ is any threshold function satisfying $p(n) = \Theta(\ln n / n).$ Let $\psi$ be any sentence from the first order language of graphs. We give a full characterization of the limit values $\lim_{n\to\infy} Prob( G(n,p) has \psi).$

Joint work with Joel Spencer.
