Kahle on the homology of the clique complex of the random graph $G=G_{n,p}$, we show, roughly speaking, that (with high probability) the triangles of $G$ span its cycle space whenever each of its edges lies in a triangle (which happens (w.h.p.) when $p$ is at least about $\\sqrt{(3/2)\\ln n/n}$, and not below this unless $p$ is very small.) We give two related proofs of this statement, together with a relatively simple proof of a fundamental \"stability\" theorem for triangle-free subgraphs of $G_{n,p}$, originally due to Kohayakawa, \\L uczak and R\\\"odl, that underlies the first of our proofs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-07-28T18:09:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C80", "05C35", "05D40", "55U10", "60C05" ], "keywords": [ "random graph", "triangle space", "clique complex", "triangle-free subgraphs", "cycle space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1207.6717D" } } }
