摘要
In their seminal work which initiated random graph theory Erdos and Renyi discovered that many graph properties have sharp thresholds as the number of vertices tends to infinity. We prove a conjecture of Linial that every monotone graph property has a sharp threshold. This follows from the following theorem. Let V-n(p) = {0, 1}(n) denote the Hamming space endowed with the probability measure mu(p) defined by mu(p)(epsilon(1), epsilon(2), ..., epsilon(n)) = p(k) . (1 - p)(n-k), where k = epsilon(1) + epsilon(2) + ... + epsilon(n). Let A be a monotone subset of V-n. We say that A is symmetric if there is a transitive permutation group Gamma on {1, 2,..., n} such that A is invariant under Gamma.
