In a connected graph, Kemeny's constant gives the expected time of a random walk from an arbitrary vertex $x$ to reach a randomly-chosen vertex $y$. Because of this, Kemeny's constant can be interpreted as a measure of how well a graph is…

For a transitive infinite connected graph $G$, let $\mu(G)$ be its connective constant. Denote by $\mathbf{\cal G}$ the set of Cayley graphs for finitely generated infinite groups with an infinite-order generator which is independent of…

In this paper, we provide a lower bound for the Cheeger constant and the spectral gap for random complex curves in $\C P^2$. The complex curve is endowed with the restriction of the ambient Fubini-Study metric, and the probability measure…

We show that the diameter of a uniformly drawn spanning tree of a simple connected graph on $n$ vertices with minimal degree linear in $n$ is typically of order $\sqrt{n}$. A byproduct of our proof, which is of independent interest, is that…

We prove that for every planar convex set $\Omega$, the function $t\in (-r(\Omega),+\infty)\longmapsto \sqrt{|\Omega_t|}h(\Omega_t)$ is monotonically decreasing, where $r$, $|\cdot|$ and $h$ stand for the inradius, the measure and the…

We aim to learn a sparse and connected graph from sparse data, where the number of observations K can be substantially smaller than the signal dimension N for signals x in R^N, and the underlying distribution is unknown. In this severely…

Let $\zeta$ be Euclidean norm of the degree sequence of a graph normalized by the graph size. We prove that when the vertices of a graph are randomly colored with $s$ colors such that the fraction of vertices in each color class is bounded…
