= Isolated-vertex threshold in the Erdős-Rényi model

For $p=c\log n/n$, the number $N$ of isolated vertices satisfies
$$
\mathbb P(N=0)\longrightarrow
\begin{cases}
1,&c>1,\\
0,&c<1.
\end{cases}
$$
The upper side follows from the first-moment bound. On the lower side, $\mathbb EN\to\infty$ and $\operatorname{var}(N)/(\mathbb EN)^2\to0$, so the second-moment method applies.
