In this paper, a new class of band matrices is considered where the entries of each non-zero band form a sequence with two limit points. The compact perturbation technique is used to study the spectrum over the $\ell_{p}, (1<p<\infty)$…
We show that, with very high probability, the random graph Laplacian has simple spectrum. Our method provides a quantitatively effective estimate of the spectral gaps. Along the way, we establish results on affine no-gaps delocalization,…
We introduce the notion of \emph{joint spectrum} of a compact set of matrices $S \subset GL_d(\mathbb{C})$, which is a multi-dimensional generalization of the joint spectral radius. We begin with a thorough study of its properties (under…
We consider a Laplacian on periodic discrete graphs. Its spectrum consists of a finite number of bands. In a class of periodic 1-forms, i.e., functions defined on edges of the periodic graph, we introduce a subclass of minimal forms with a…

Community structure is an important property that captures inhomogeneities common in large networks, and modularity is one of the most widely used metrics for such community structure. In this paper, we introduce a principled methodology,…
Various modularity matrices appeared in the recent literature on network analysis and algebraic graph theory. Their purpose is to allow writing as quadratic forms certain combinatorial functions appearing in the framework of graph…

In this paper we investigate the eigenvalue statistics of exponentially weighted ensembles of full binary trees and $p$-branching star graphs. We show that spectral densities of corresponding adjacency matrices demonstrate peculiar…
We consider the problem of detecting communities or modules in networks, groups of vertices with a higher-than-average density of edges connecting them. Previous work indicates that a robust approach to this problem is the maximization of…
We prove spectral localization for infinite metric graphs with a self-adjoint Laplace operator and a random potential. To do so we adapt the multiscale analysis (MSA) from the R^d-case to metric graphs. In the MSA a covering of the graph is…
Simplicial complexes are increasingly used to study complex system structure and dynamics including diffusion, synchronization and epidemic spreading. The spectral dimension of the graph Laplacian is known to determine the diffusion…
For any Lipschitz domain we construct an arbitrarily small, localized perturbation which splits the spectrum of the Laplacian into simple eigenvalues. We use for this purpose a Hadamard's formula and spectral stability results.
In contrast to the neatly bounded spectra of densely populated large random matrices, sparse random matrices often exhibit unbounded eigenvalue tails on the real and imaginary axis, called Lifshitz tails. In the case of asymmetric matrices,…
We investigate connections between the symmetries (automorphisms) of a graph and its spectral properties. Whenever a graph has a symmetry, i.e. a nontrivial automorphism $\phi$, it is possible to use $\phi$ to decompose any matrix…
