Abstract The largest components of the critical Erdős–Rényi graph, G(n, p) with p = 1 / n, have size of order n 2/3 with high probability. We give detailed asymptotics for the probability that there is an unusually large component, i.e. of size an 2/3 for large a. Our results, which extend the work of Pittel (2001), allow a to depend upon n and also hold for a range of values of p around 1 / n. We also provide asymptotics for the distribution of the size of the component containing a particular vertex.
