Title: Fluid limit in the supercritical frozen Erdős-Rényi graph
Speaker: Vincent Viau (Université Sorbonne Paris-Nord)
Abstract: The frozen Erdős-Rényi random graph is a variant of the standard dynamical Erdős-Rényi graph, that prevents the creation of the giant component by freezing the evolution of connected components with a unique cycle. The formation of multicyclic components is forbidden, while the growth of components with a unique cycle is slowed down, depending on a parameter p ∈ [0, 1] that quantifies the slowdown. In this talk, we will study the fluid limit of the main statistics of this process, that is their functional convergence as the number of vertices of the graph becomes large and after a proper rescaling, to the solution of a system of differential equations. The proof is based on the free forest property of the frozen model: the forest part of the graph is a uniform random forest. In order to prove the fluid limit results, we will explain how to count these forests using conditioned random walks.

Code of conduct

Maintaining a respectful environment is essential to fostering meaningful dialogue and intellectual growth. Participants are expected to refrain from any form of disrespectful or inappropriate behaviour, including offensive comments, harassment, or disruptive conduct. Questions and contributions should be constructive, relevant to the topic, and posed in a professional manner that encourages healthy academic exchange. Harassment of any kind—including verbal, moral or physical—will not be tolerated, and all attendees are urged to uphold these principles to ensure a safe and welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
