Characterizing the fourth-moment phenomenon of monochromatic subgraph counts via influences (2403.14068v1)

Abstract: We investigate the distribution of monochromatic subgraph counts in random vertex $2$-colorings of large graphs. We give sufficient conditions for the asymptotic normality of these counts and demonstrate their essential necessity (particularly for monochromatic triangles). Our approach refines the fourth-moment theorem to establish new, local influence-based conditions for asymptotic normality; these findings more generally provide insight into fourth-moment phenomena for a broader class of Rademacher and Gaussian polynomials.
