As a function of the independent edge indicators, the maximum matching number is unit-Lipschitz. The event is certified by exhibiting the present edges of a matching, so is certifiable. The Talagrand concentration inequality for certifiable functions around a median gives, for universal constants in the displayed standard version,
Here . If , then , as does whenever the corresponding event is possible. Both tail probabilities therefore tend to zero. Thus deviations of any order larger than are unlikely.
