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…

Spectral clustering is a fundamental method for graph partitioning, but its reliance on eigenvector computation limits scalability to massive graphs. Classical sparsification methods preserve spectral properties by sampling edges…
Denote by $A$ the adjacency matrix of an Erdos-Renyi graph with bounded average degree. We consider the problem of maximizing $\langle A-E\{A\},X\rangle$ over the set of positive semidefinite matrices $X$ with diagonal entries $X_{ii}=1$.…
