contents We provide a sufficient condition on the isoperimetric properties of a regular graph $G$ of growing degree $d$, under which the random subgraph $G_p$ typically undergoes a phase transition around $p=\frac{1}{d}$ which resembles the emergence of a giant component in the binomial random graph model $G(n,p)$. We further show that this condition is tight. More precisely, let $d=ω(1)$, let $ε>0$ be a small enough constant, and let $p \cdot d=1+ε$. We show that if $C$ is sufficiently large and $G$ is a $d$-regular $n$-vertex graph where every subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ of order at most $\frac{n}{2}$ has edge-boundary of size at least $C|S|$, then $G_p$ typically has a unique linear sized component, whose order is asymptotically $y(ε)n$, where $y(ε)$ is the survival probability of a Galton-Watson tree with offspring distribution Po$(1+ε)$. We further give examples to show that this result is tight both in terms of its dependence on $C$, and with respect to the order of the second-largest component. We also consider a more general setting, where we only control the expansion of sets up to size $k$. In this case, we show that if $G$ is such that every subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ of order at most $k$ has edge-boundary of size at least $d|S|$ and $p$ is such that $p\cdot d \geq 1 + ε$, then $G_p$ typically contains a component of order $Ω(k)$.
