The VC-dimension of random subsets of finite groups

Abstract

For a random subset of a finite group $G$ of cardinality $N$, we consider the VC-dimension of the family of its translates (equivalently the VC-dimension of a random Cayley graph) and prove a law of large numbers as $N\to \infty$. This answers a question of McDonald--Sahay--Wyman.
