The Janson–Sós conjecture on quasi-random properties from graph averages

Let FK2F \neq K_2 be a non-empty graph with vertex set {1,,m}\{1,\ldots,m\}, and let α1,,αm(0,1)\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_m \in (0,1) satisfy

i=1mαi1.\sum_{i=1}^m \alpha_i \leqslant 1.

Write P(F,α1,,αm)\mathcal{P}(F,\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_m) for the property defined by the corresponding average over products of disjoint vertex sets, and let p(0,1]p \in (0,1]. Janson–Sós conjecture. The property P(F,α1,,αm)\mathcal{P}(F,\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_m) is a quasi-random property for every p(0,1]p \in (0,1]. This addresses the problem of determining when these properties are always quasi-random; before this work it was unknown even for the path on three vertices and was stated as an open problem by Janson and Sós. The exceptional known non-example is P(K2,12,12)\mathcal{P}(K_2,\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2}); the claim excludes it.
