Component sizes for large quantum erdos renyi graph near criticality

Abstract

The $N$ vertices of a quantum random graph are each a circle independently punctured at Poisson points of arrivals, with parallel connections derived through for each pair of these punctured circles by yet another independent Poisson process. Considering these graphs at their critical parameters, we show that the joint law of the re-scaled by $N^{2/3}$ and ordered sizes of their connected components, converges to that of the ordered lengths of excursions above zero for a reflected Brownian motion with drift. Thereby, this work forms the first example of an inhomogeneous random graph, beyond the case of effectively rank-1 models, which is rigorously shown to be in the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs universality class in terms of Aldous's results.
