Cheeger inequality is a classical result emerging from the isoperimetric problem in the field of geometry. In the graph theory, a discrete version of Cheeger inequality was also studied deeply and the notion was further extended for higher…

The Cheeger constant of a graph, or equivalently its coboundary expansion, quantifies the expansion of the graph. This notion assumes an implicit choice of a coefficient group, namely, $\mathbb{F}_2$. In this paper, we study Cheeger-type…

Cheeger-type inequalities in which the decomposability of a graph and the spectral gap of its Laplacian mutually control each other play an important role in graph theory and network analysis, in particular in the context of expander…

We extend the definition of boundary expansion to CW complexes and prove a Cheeger-Buser-type relation between the spectral gap of the Laplacian and the boundary expansion of an orientable CW complex.

Coboundary and cosystolic expansion are notions of expansion that generalize the Cheeger constant or edge expansion of a graph to higher dimensions. The classical Cheeger inequality implies that for graphs edge expansion is equivalent to…

Coboundary expansion is a high dimensional generalization of the Cheeger constant to simplicial complexes. Originally, this notion was motivated by the fact that it implies topological expansion, but nowadays a significant part of the…

The discrete Cheeger inequality, due to Alon and Milman (J. Comb. Theory Series B 1985), is an indispensable tool for converting the combinatorial condition of graph expansion to an algebraic condition on the eigenvalues of the graph…

In graph theory there are intimate connections between the expansion properties of a graph and the spectrum of its Laplacian. In this paper we define a notion of combinatorial expansion for simplicial complexes of general dimension, and…

This paper introduces the notion of local spectral expansion of a simplicial complex as a possible analogue of spectral expansion defined for graphs. We show the condition of local spectral expansion has several nice implications. For…

We introduce notions of Cheeger constants for graphons and graphings. We prove Cheeger and Buser inequalities for these. On the way we prove co-area formulae for graphons and graphings.

We study a natural discrete Bochner-type inequality on graphs, and explore its merit as a notion of curvature in discrete spaces. An appealing feature of this discrete version seems to be that it is fairly straightforward to compute this…

In this paper, some new forms of the Cheeger's inequalities are established for general (maybe unbounded) symmetric forms, the resulting estimates improve and extend the ones obtained by Lawler and Sokal (1988) for bounded jump processes.…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $S$ be a symmetric generating set of $G$ with $|S| = d$. We show that if the undirected Cayley sum graph $C_{\Sigma}(G,S)$ is an expander graph and is non-bipartite, then the spectrum of its normalised…

We introduce a new model of random $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes, for $d\geq 2$, whose $(d-1)$-cells have bounded degrees. We show that with high probability, complexes sampled according to this model are coboundary expanders. The…

By measured graphs we mean graphs endowed with a measure on the set of vertices. In this context, we explore the relations between the appropriate Cheeger constant and Poincar\'{e} inequalities. We prove that the so-called Cheeger…

Let $G$ be a finite group. It was remarked by Breuillard-Green-Guralnick-Tao that if the Cayley graph $C(G,S)$ is an expander graph and is non-bipartite then the spectrum of the adjacency operator $T$ is bounded away from $-1$. In this…
