Title
Square percolation and the threshold for quadratic divergence in random right-angled Coxeter groups
Abstract
Given a graph Gamma, its auxiliary square-graph (Gamma) is the graph whose vertices are the non-edges of Gamma and whose edges are the pairs of non-edges which induce a square (i.e., a 4-cycle) in Gamma. We determine the threshold edge-probability p=pc(n) at which the Erdos-Renyi random graph Gamma=Gamma n,p begins to asymptotically almost surely (a.a.s.) have a square-graph with a connected component whose squares together cover all the vertices of Gamma n,p. We show pc(n)=6-2/n, a polylogarithmic improvement on earlier bounds on pc(n) due to Hagen and the authors. As a corollary, we determine the threshold p=pc(n) at which the random right-angled Coxeter group W Gamma n,p a.a.s. becomes strongly algebraically thick of order 1 and has quadratic divergence.
