how to compute the probability that a random graph has two components?

There are several alternative derivations. It seems that in the derivation you are following, the first component is defined as the component of the node 1, so if this component has size $k$, then onl …

What is the exact definition of a sharp transition?

The parameters $p_n$ are not arbitrary numerical parameters. They represent the expectation of one binary variable in a product space. Changing them additively is very different from changing the powe …

Reference request - random regular graphs vs random graphs w/ degree sequence

Simple random walk (and non-backtracking walk) on random regular graphs exhibit the cutoff phenomenon [1]. The extension to graphs with degree sequences came later; see [2] for nonbacktracking walks a …

Random Optimization on Graphs: Minimum Cut

As noted in the answer by Puck Rombach, the problem is NP-hard for fixed weights. However the OP asked about random IID weights. In this case finding the mincut or maxcut is still not known to be in P …

Which infinite random graphs with percolation threshold $p_c=0$ are transient?

One general method that yields transience of infinite clusters is the existence of paths with exponential intersection tails: See Benjamini, Itai, Robin Pemantle, and Yuval Peres. "Unpredictable paths …

Non-backtracking random walk in regular (finite) graphs

Indeed, understanding non-backtracking walks is often the key to analyzing the simple random walk and random graphs. See e.g. [1], [2] and [3], [4]. Basic properties of the non-backtracking walk are …
