Abstract

We give a short proof that the largest component C1 of the random graph G(n, 1/n) is of size approximately n2/3. The proof gives explicit bounds for the probability that the ratio is very large or very small. In particular, the probability that n-2/3{pipe}C1{pipe} exceeds A is at most e-cA^3 for some c > 0.
