Random induced subgraphs of Cayley graphs induced by transpositions

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we study random induced subgraphs of Cayley graphs of the symmetric group induced by an arbitrary minimal generating set of transpositions. A random induced subgraph of this Cayley graph is obtained by selecting permutations with independent probability, λnλ_n. Our main result is that for any minimal generating set of transpositions, for probabilities λn=1+εnn−1λ_n=\frac{1+ε_n}{n-1} where n−1/3+δ≤εn<1n^{-{1/3}+δ}\le ε_n<1 and δ>0δ>0, a random induced subgraph has a.s. a unique largest component of size ℘(εn)1+εnn−1n!\wp(ε_n)\frac{1+ε_n}{n-1}n!, where ℘(εn)\wp(ε_n) is the survival probability of a specific branching process.
