Law of the iterated logarithm for random graphs

A milestone in Probability Theory is the law of the iterated logarithm (LIL), proved by Khinchin and independently by Kolmogorov in the 1920s, which asserts that for iid random variables $\{t_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ with mean $0$ and variance $1$ $$ \Pr \left[ \limsup_{n\rightarrow \infty} \frac{ \sum_{i=1}^n t_i }{\sigma_n \sqrt {2 \log \log n }} =1 \right] =1 . $$ In this paper we prove that LIL holds for various functionals of random graphs and hypergraphs models. We first prove LIL for the number of copies of a fixed subgraph $H$. Two harder results concern the number of global objects: perfect matchings and Hamiltonian cycles. The main new ingredient in these results is a large deviation bound, which may be of independent interest. For random $k$-uniform hypergraphs, we obtain the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) and LIL for the number of Hamilton cycles.
