Maximum-size antichains in random set-systems

We show that, for $pn \to \infty$, the largest set in a $p$-random sub-family of the power set of $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ containing no $k$-chain has size $( k - 1 + o(1) ) p \binom{n}{n/2}$ with high probability. This confirms a conjecture of Osthus, and has been proved independently by Balogh, Mycroft and Treglown.
