Multipartite random graphs with given degrees: local limit, revisiting the giant, distances

Abstract

We consider multipartite random graphs with given degree sequences, within and across different partitions. Under general assumptions, we prove the local limit of this graph is a multi-type branching process, establish that a giant component exists only when the local limit survives, and deduce that the typical distance is of logarithmic order in probability in the supercritical regime. Our analysis removes two major assumptions from Gamarnik and Misra (2015), where the giant component problem for this model was first considered. In particular, we do not assume irreducibility of the local limit, and provide a general framework to extract giant components even when the limiting branching process is reducible, which we hope to be useful in other contexts. We also provide a new simpler survival criterion of multi-type branching processes, which we hope to be useful when direct calculation of the spectral radius of the offspring matrix may prove to be difficult.

Recurrence of strong-decay inhomogeneous long-range percolation clusters

We prove recurrence criteria for inhomogeneous long-range percolation in dimensions one and two. In dimension one, recurrence follows from a purely geometric scarcity condition: long edges eventually disappear on exponential scales. This applies to weight-dependent random connection models and related one-dimensional s...

From local giants to locality in long-range percolation

We prove the analogue of Schramm's locality conjecture for long-range percolation on transitive graphs of polynomial growth with $\alpha \in (0,2)$. In this setting, we also prove the joint continuity of the percolation probability $\theta$ with respect to three parameters: the underlying graph with respect to the loca...

Spectrum of Directed Inhomogeneous Random Graphs

We study the spectrum of the adjacency matrix $A_n$ of directed inhomogeneous random graphs on $n$ vertices. We assume that $A_n$ has independent entries and diverging average degree scale $s_n$. This framework includes, as special cases, the directed Chung--Lu random graph and directed stochastic block models. Assumin...

Unified framework for asymptotically uniform iterative construction of generalised random graphs with local constraints

The main theorem gives the asymptotic sampling distribution and enumeration formulae for configurations, and accommodates forbidden edges, and enables the sampling of edge-colored graphs with prescribed degree sequences for each color class by constructing the colored subgraphs one at a time.

Scaling Limits for Ising Models on Inhomogeneous Random Graphs and Applications

In this paper, we derive quenched scaling limits for linear functionals and the empirical spin field of Ising models on inhomogeneous random graphs generated by a graphon (encompassing both dense and sparse graphs), in the high-temperature regime. We first prove a joint central limit theorem (CLT) for finite collection...

Applications of the cluster graphing

In 1999, two papers of Benjamini, Lyons, Peres, and Schramm showed that for Bernoulli percolation on unimodular nonamenable quasi-transitive graphs, there are no infinite clusters at criticality. Using the theory of countable Borel equivalence relations and Gaboriau's cluster graphing construction, we give a short proo...
