The heart of the argument is to show that there is a constant $C$ such that a random graph with $C n$ vertices where every edge is chosen independently with probability $p \\geq C n^{-2/5}$ is with high probability Ramsey for any cubic graph with $n$ vertices. This latter result is best possible up to the constant.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2023-04-23T12:07:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cubic graph", "size-ramsey number", "high probability ramsey", "random graph", "kohayakawa" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
