abstract

It is shown that in a subcritical random graph with given vertex degrees satisfying a power law degree distribution with exponent $\gamma>3$, the largest component is of order $n^{1/(\gamma-1)}$. More precisely, the order of the largest component is approximatively given by a simple constant times the largest vertex degree. These results are extended to several other random graph models with power law degree distributions. This proves a conjecture by Durrett.

  1. Subcritical percolation and network archaeology on random recursive tree substrate networks

    math.PR 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    For random recursive trees with independent Erdős–Rényi shortcut edges, subcritical bond percolation exposes a decorated tree structure on which Jordan centrality recovers the root within a deterministic-size confidence set.
