First prove the concentration statement with its correct scale. Let $U_i=R_i^2$, the $i$th uniform order statistic. The number of sample points at most $z$ is $B_z\sim \mathrm{Bin}(n,z)$. Therefore $U_i>z$ means $B_z<i$, and $U_i<z$ means $B_z\ge i$, up to probability-zero ties. Take ${\epsilon }_n=1/\log n$ and $M=\lceil n^{1/10}\rceil$. Applying Chernoff bounds at $z=(1\pm {\epsilon }_n{)}^{2}i/n$ gives, for an absolute $c_0>0$ and sufficiently large $n$,When the upper endpoint exceeds one its upper-tail event is empty. A union bound makes the total failure probability for all $M\le i\le n$ at most $2n\exp (-c_{0}M/(\log n{)}^2)=o(1)$. On this event,where integral comparison gives ${\sum }_{i=M}^n{i}^{-1/2}=2\sqrt{n}+O(\sqrt{M})$.

The first vertex block has right endpoint $R_1$ and always contains $L_1$, so its initial chord contributes vertex degree two. All its other endpoints are those $L_i$ with $i\ge 2$ that fall below $R_1$. Conditional on the right endpoints, these events are independent with probabilities $R_1/R_i$. ThusThe fewer than $M$ early summands contribute at most $M=o(\sqrt{n})$ to this conditional mean. For the rest, the uniform estimate and uniform tightness of $\sqrt{n}{R}_1$ giveTo control the actual fluctuations without assuming unconditional independence, restrict to the concentration event and $\sqrt{n}{R}_1\le A$. Then $\mu (R)\le M+2+CA\sqrt{n}$. Conditional Chebyshev inequality bounds the probability of a deviation exceeding $\eta \sqrt{n}$ by $(M+2+CA\sqrt{n})/({\eta }^{2}n)=o(1)$. The discarded endpoint event has limiting probability $e^{-A^2}$; let $A\to \infty$. ThereforeSince $W$ has a continuous distribution, the corrected first-vertex degree in the LCD model tail isThis disproves the printed exponent $-y^2/8$ for $G_n^{(1)}$. The hint's factor is independently contradicted at $i=n$: its proposed upper bound tends to $1/\sqrt{2}$, whereasThus the printed concentration event has probability tending to zero, not one. Replacing its $2n$ by $n$ leads to the proven exponent $-y^2/4$. The exponent $-y^2/8$ would instead arise for $d_1(2n)/\sqrt{n}$, but then the graph has $2n$ vertices and the part (b) endpoint limit at $x/\sqrt{n}$ becomes $e^{-2x^2}$. It cannot repair all the printed claims with one convention. The literal part (c) is false for the named model; the full corrected limit and the source of the discrepancy are established above.
