In this paper, we describe the typical structure of independent sets in $\\mathcal{B}(n, d)$ and give precise asymptotics on the number of them. The proofs use Sapozhenko's graph container method and a recently developed method of Jenssen and Perkins, which combines Sapozhenko's graph container lemma with the cluster expansion for polymer models from statistical physics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-07T01:04:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "independent sets", "boolean lattice", "sapozhenkos graph container lemma", "sapozhenkos graph container method", "largest layers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
