ABSTRACT
Title: We will apply large deviation theory to the problem of estimating the probability
of having some very large eigenvalues in a random symmetric matrix. As an example we can
calculate the probability of a random graph with each edge being on of off
independently
n 3
with probability p and 1 − p. The number of triangles
would
be
roughly
p . We estimate
3
n 3
the probability of large deviations from this i.e. 3 a with a 6= p and answer the question
of a graph conditioned to have a significantly different number of triangles would look like.
