Spectral embedding of adjacency or Laplacian matrices of undirected graphs is a common technique for representing a network in a lower dimensional latent space, with optimal theoretical guarantees. The embedding can be used to estimate the…

We compute spectra of large stochastic matrices $W$, defined on sparse random graphs, where edges $(i,j)$ of the graph are given positive random weights $W_{ij}>0$ in such a fashion that column sums are normalized to one. We compute spectra…

We study random graphs with possibly different edge probabilities in the challenging sparse regime of bounded expected degrees. Unlike in the dense case, neither the graph adjacency matrix nor its Laplacian concentrate around their…

In this article, we study random graphs with a given degree sequence $d_1, d_2, \cdots, d_n$ from the configuration model. We show that under mild assumptions of the degree sequence, the spectral distribution of the normalized Laplacian…

We study operators on rooted graphs with a certain spherical homogeneity. These graphs are called path commuting and allow for a decomposition of the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian into a direct sum of Jacobi matrices which reflect the…

Using spectral embedding based on the signless Laplacian, we obtain bounds on the spectrum of transition matrices on graphs. As a consequence, we bound return probabilities and the uniform mixing time of simple random walk on graphs. In…

We investigate quantum graphs with infinitely many vertices and edges without the common restriction on the geometry of the underlying metric graph that there is a positive lower bound on the lengths of its edges. Our central result is a…
