چکیده

In their seminal work which initiated random graph theory Erd os and R enyi discovered that many graph properties have sharp thresholds as the number of vertices tends to in nity We prove a conjecture of Linial that every monotone graph property has a sharp threshold This follows from the following theorem Let Vn p f g denote the Hamming space endowed with the probability measure p de ned by p n p p n k where k n Let A be a monotone subset of Vn We say that A is symmetric if there is a transitive permutation group on f ng such that A is invariant under Theorem For every symmetric monotone A if p A then q A for q p c log logn c is an absolute constant

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Elections Can Be Manipulated Often

The Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem states that every non-trivial voting method between at least 3 alternatives can be strategically manipulated. We prove a quantitative version of the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem: a random manipulation by a single random voter will succeed with non-negligible probability for every neutral voting method between 3 alternatives that is far from being a dictatorship.

Sharp Thresholds of Graph properties and the k sat Problem

Given a monotone graph property P consider p P the proba bility that a random graph with edge probability p will have P The function d p P dp is the key to understanding the threshold behavior of the property P We show that if d p P dp is small corresponding to a non sharp threshold then there is a list of graphs of bounded size such that P can be approximated by the property of having one of t...
