Grosjean proved that the $(1/p)$-th power of the first eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on a closed Riemannian manifold converges to the twice of the inverse of the diameter of the space, as $p \to \infty$. Before this, a corresponding…

We study the spectral gap of the Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph through the connectivity threshold. In particular, we show that for any fixed $\delta > 0$ if $$p \ge \frac{(1/2 + \delta) \log n}{n},$$ then the normalized graph Laplacian of…

Eigenmaps are important in analysis, geometry, and machine learning, especially in nonlinear dimension reduction. Approximation of the eigenmaps of a Laplace operator depends crucially on the scaling parameter $\epsilon$. If $\epsilon$ is…

The first non-zero Laplacian eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of a finite graph is bounded below by its minimum Lin--Lu--Yau curvature $\kappa$. This is a discrete analogue of the classical Lichnerowicz Theorem. A graph with $\lambda_1=\kappa$ is…
