Factors in randomly perturbed graphs

We study the model of randomly perturbed dense graphs, which is the union of any $n$-vertex graph $G_\alpha$ with minimum degree at least $\alpha n$ and the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$. In this talk, we shall examine the following central question in this area: to determine when $G_\alpha \cup G(n,p)$ contains $H$-factors, i.e. spanning subgraphs consisting of vertex disjoint copies of the graph $H$. We offer several new sharp and stability results.
This is joint work with Julia Böttcher, Olaf Parczyk, and Jozef Skokan.
