Let D(G) be the smallest quantifier depth of a first order formula which is true for a graph G but false for any other non-isomorphic graph. This can be viewed as a measure for the first order descriptive complexity of G. We will show that almost surely D(G)=Theta(ln n/lnln n), where G is a random tree of order n or the giant component of a random graph G(n,c/n) with constant c>1. These results rely on computing the maximum of D(T) for a tree T of order n and maximum degree l, so we study this problem as well.

Majority dynamics on a graph $G$ is a deterministic process such that every vertex updates its $pm 1$-assignment according to the majority assignment on its neighbor simultaneously at each step. Benjamini, Chan, ODonnel, Tamuz and Tan conjectured tha t, in the ErdH{o}s--Renyi random graph $G(n,p)$, the random initial $pm 1$-assignment converges to a $99%$-agreement with high probability whenever $p=omega(1/n)$. This conjecture was first confirmed for $pgeqlambda n^{-1/2}$ for a large constant $lambda$ by Fountoulakis, Kang and Makai. Although this result has been reproved recently by Tran and Vu and by Berkowitz and Devlin, it was unknown whether the conjecture holds for $p< lambda n^{-1/2}$. We break this $Omega(n^{-1/2})$-barrier by proving the conjecture for sparser random graphs $G(n,p)$, where $lambda n^{-3/5}log n leq p leq lambda n^{-1/2}$ with a large constant $lambda>0$.
We show that for any $d=d(n)$ with $d_0(epsilon) le d =o(n)$, with high probability, the size of a largest induced cycle in the random graph $G(n,d/n)$ is $(2pm epsilon)frac{n}{d}log d$. This settles a long-standing open problem in random graph theory.
Loebl, Komlos and Sos conjectured that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $n/2$ vertices of degree at least $k$ contains each tree $T$ of order $k+1$ as a subgraph. We give a sketch of a proof of the approximate version of this conjecture for l arge values of $k$. For our proof, we use a structural decomposition which can be seen as an analogue of Szemeredis regularity lemma for possibly very sparse graphs. With this tool, each graph can be decomposed into four parts: a set of vertices of huge degree, regular pairs (in the sense of the regularity lemma), and two other objects each exhibiting certain expansion properties. We then exploit the properties of each of the parts of $G$ to embed a given tree $T$. The purpose of this note is to highlight the key steps of our proof. Details can be found in [arXiv:1211.3050].
We investigate the problem of determining how many monochromatic trees are necessary to cover the vertices of an edge-coloured random graph. More precisely, we show that for $pgg n^{-1/6}{(ln n)}^{1/6}$, in any $3$-edge-colouring of the random graph $G(n,p)$ we can find three monochromatic trees such that their union covers all vertices. This improves, for three colours, a result of Bucic, Korandi and Sudakov.

We show that for $dge d_0(epsilon)$, with high probability, the random graph $G(n,d/n)$ contains an induced path of length $(3/2-epsilon)frac{n}{d}log d$. This improves a result obtained independently by Luczak and Suen in the early 90s, and answers a question of Fernandez de la Vega. Along the way, we generalize a recent result of Cooley, Draganic, Kang and Sudakov who studied the analogous problem for induced matchings.
