Abstract:

For a fixed graph H, what is the probability a random graph G(n,p) contains more than twice the expected number of copies of H. In this talk I will sketch the answer to this question in the case when H is a clique. A conjecture for general H will also be presented. (Joint work with Jeff Kahn)
