In this paper we show that if $p=\\omega(n^{-1+1/(2k-1)}\\log n)$, then ${\\mathbf{G}}(n,p)$ will asymptotically almost surely also have the property that any colouring of its edges induces canonical copies of $C_{2k}$. This determines the threshold for the canonical Ramsey property with respect to even cycles, up to a $\\log$ factor.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-21T20:29:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random graphs", "edges induces canonical copies", "canonical ramsey property", "rado implies", "canonical colour patterns" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
