4. Crossing number (and its variations) in random graphs

    1. Crossing number (and its variations) in random graphs

          Let $G(n,m)$ denote a random graph on $n$ vertices with $m$ edges.

      Problem 4.1.

      [Janos Pach] Let $G \sim G(n,m)$ with $m \geq \omega(n)$, is it true with high probability that the crossing number $\text{cr}(G) \geq \Omega(m^2)$?
          Note: The same problem can be asked for pair-crossing number $\text{pair-cr}(G)$ and odd-crossing number $\text{odd-cr}(G)$.
