Abstract

We study the maximal number of edges a C-2k-free subgraph of a random graph Gn,p may have, obtaining best possible results for a. range of p= p(n). Our estimates strengthen previous bounds of Furedi [12] and Haxell, Kohayakawa, and Luczak [13]. Two main tools are used here: the first one is an upper bound for the number of graphs with large even-girth, i.e., graphs without short even cycles, with a given number of vertices and edges, and satisfying a certain additional pseudorandom condition; the second tool is the powerful result of Ajtai, Komlos, Pintz;, Spencer, and Szemeredi [1] on uncrowded hypergraphs as given by Duke, Lefmann, and Rodl [7].
