In their seminal work which initiated random graph theory Erdös and Rényi discovered that many graph properties have sharp thresholds as the number of vertices tends to infinity. We prove a conjecture of Linial that every monotone graph property has a sharp threshold. This follows from the following theorem. Let V n ( p ) = { 0 , 1 } n V_n(p)= \{0,1\}^n denote the Hamming space endowed with the probability measure μ p μ _p defined by μ p ( ϵ 1 , ϵ 2 , … , ϵ n ) = p k ⋅ ( 1 − p ) n − k μ _p (ε _1, ε _2, , ε _n)= p^k · (1-p)ⁿ⁻ᵏ , where k = ϵ 1 + ϵ 2 + ⋯ + ϵ n k=ε _1 +ε _2 +⋯ +ε _n . Let A A be a monotone subset of V n V_n . We say that A A is symmetric if there is a transitive permutation group Γ Γ
