Based on numerical simulation and local stability analysis we describe the structure of the phase space of the edge/triangle model of random graphs. We support simulation evidence with mathematical proof of continuity and discontinuity for many of the phase transitions. All but one of themany phase transitions in this model break some form of symmetry, and we use this model to explore how changes in symmetry are related to discontinuities at these transitions.

Nucleation during phase transitions in random networks
TLDR
By use of a natural edge flip dynamics, nucleation barriers as a random network crosses the transition are determined, in analogy to the process a material undergoes when frozen or melted, and some of the stochastic properties of the network nucleation are characterized.
Phase Transitions in Finite Random Networks
TLDR
Finite size effects in ensembles where the number of nodes is between 30 and 66 are studied, finding that phase transitions are clearly visible and the structure of a typical graph in each phase is very similar to the graphon that describes the system as n diverges.
Typical large graphs with given edge and triangle densities
. The analysis of large simple graphs with extreme values of the densities of edges and triangles has been extended to the statistical structure of typical graphs of fixed inter-mediate densities, by…
Ground States for Exponential Random Graphs
We propose a perturbative method to estimate the normalization constant in exponential random graph models as the weighting parameters approach infinity. As an application, we give evidence of…
Finite-size effects in exponential random graphs and cluster evaporation
In this Letter we find numerically the strong finite-size effects in the critical behavior of Erdős-Renyi (ER) networks supplemented with chemical potentials for some motifs, in particular 2-stars…
Large deviation for uniform graphs with given degrees
Consider the random graph sampled uniformly from the set of all simple graphs with a given degree sequence. Under mild conditions on the degrees, we establish a Large Deviation Principle (LDP) for…
Finite plateau in spectral gap of polychromatic constrained random networks.
TLDR
It is claimed that at the plateau the spontaneously broken Z_{2} symmetry is restored by the mechanism of modes collectivization in clusters of different colors, and the phenomena of a finite plateau formation holds also for polychromatic networks with M≥2 colors.
Finite-size effects in exponential random graphs
TLDR
Numerically the strong finite-size effects in exponential random graphs are shown and it is found that there exists the critical value of number of nodes when the ground state undergoes clear-cut crossover.
Regular Graphs with Many Triangles are Structured
We compute the leading asymptotics of the logarithm of the number of $d$-regular graphs having at least a fixed positive fraction $c$ of the maximum possible number of triangles, and provide a strong…
Breaking of ensemble equivalence for perturbed Erdős-Rényi random graphs
In a previous paper we analysed a simple undirected random graph subject to constraints on the total number of edges and the total number of triangles. We considered the dense regime in which the…

A symmetry breaking transition in the edge/triangle network model
TLDR
The main result is the analysis of a sharp transition between two phases with different symmetries, analogous to the transition between a fluid and a crystalline solid.
Phase transitions in a complex network
We study a mean field model of a complex network, focusing on edge and triangle densities. Our first result is the derivation of a variational characterization of the entropy density, compatible with…
The Asymptotics of Large Constrained Graphs
TLDR
It is shown that if one constrains simple graphs by their densities of edges and τ of triangles, then asymptotically for over 95% of the possible range of those densities there is a well-defined typical graph.
Bipodal structure in oversaturated random graphs
TLDR
It is proved that, for all but finitely many values of the edge density, the typical large graph is bipodal with parameters varying analytically with the densities.
Singularities in the Entropy of Asymptotically Large Simple Graphs
We prove that the asymptotic entropy of large simple graphs, as a function of fixed edge and triangle densities, is nondifferentiable along a certain curve. We also determine the precise…

Multipodal Structure and Phase Transitions in Large Constrained Graphs
TLDR
It is proved that under constraints graphs are “multipodal”: asymptotically in the number of vertices there is a partition of the vertices into a set of well-defined probabilities and the nonuniqueness extends to entropy maximizers in the interior of the phase space.
