Feb 16, 2011 at 15:35 comment added Matthew Kahle You mention Erdos-Renyi random graphs $G(n,p)$ below. Note that making $p=c/n$ with $c$ fixed might be unnecessarily restrictive. If $p$ is just slightly larger, i.e. $p \ge (1+\epsilon) \log n / n$ with $\epsilon > 0$ fixed, then the random graph is connected with probability one. As far as I can tell the question about sandpile groups makes sense and is interesting for this (or any larger) function $p=p(n)$. An interesting alternative would be to consider sandpile groups of $d$-regular graphs. Already when $d=3$ these are connected with probability one.

Nov 5, 2009 at 15:09 comment added David E Speyer Good point! So that's the wrong question to be asking. I'll edit.
Nov 5, 2009 at 15:06 comment added moonface Do you mean an n x n matrix? If so, the probability of being singular seems to be 1 as formulated in the first paragraph: Each row has a positive probability of being identically zero. Perhaps the diagonal changes this?
