contents We show that if $p=O(1/n)$, then the Erdős-Rényi random graph $G(n,p)$ with high probability admits a canonical labeling computable in time $O(n\log n)$. Combined with the previous results on the canonization of random graphs, this implies that $G(n,p)$ with high probability admits a polynomial-time canonical labeling whatever the edge probability function $p$. Our algorithm combines the standard color refinement routine with simple post-processing based on the classical linear-time tree canonization. Noteworthy, our analysis of how well color refinement performs in this setting allows us to complete the description of the automorphism group of the 2-core of $G(n,p)$.
