Upper tail of the spectral radius of sparse Erdős-Rényi graphs

Anirban Basak

Abstract: We consider an Erdős-Rényi graph G(n, p) on n vertices with edge probability p such that log n log log n ≪ np n 1/2−o(1) , and derive the upper tail large deviations of the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. Within this regime we show that, for p ≫ n −2/3 the log-probability of the upper tail of the largest eigenvalue equals to that of planting a clique of an appropriate size (upon ignoring smaller order terms), while for p ≪ n −2/3 the same is given by that of the existence of a high degree vertex.In… Show more

“…In general, we say that large deviations for a function of d independent random variables exhibit a localization phenomenon when the driving mechanism for the deviation involves a deviation of o(d) variables from their typical ranges. Apart from the results of [3,18] for Wigner matrices with stretched exponential tails, localization phenomena have been shown in recent years to govern large deviations for the extreme eigenvalues of adjacency matrices for sparse random graphs [7,8,15,16,[20][21][22]37] and random networks [32,33].…”
