Spectrum of FO logic with quantifier depth 4 is finite

Abstract

The $k$-spectrum is the set of all $\alpha >0$ such that $G(n,n^{-\alpha })$ does not obey the 0-1 law for FO sentences with quantifier depth at most $k$. In this paper, we prove that the minimum $k$ such that the $k$-spectrum is infinite equals 5.
