Abstract

Let \R be the set of all finite graphs G with the Ramsey property that every coloring of the edges of G by two colors yields a monochromatic triangle. In this paper we establish a sharp threshold for random graphs with this property. Let G(n,p) be the random graph on n vertices with edge probability p. We prove that there exists a function c= c(n) with 0<c< c<C such that for any \eps > 0, as n tends to infinity Pr[G(n,(1-\eps) c/√(n)) ∈ \R ] → 0 and Pr [ G(n,(1+\eps) c/√(n)) ∈ \R ] → 1. A crucial tool that is used in the proof and is of independent interest is a generalization of Szemerédi's Regularity Lemma to a certain hypergraph setting.
