We prove that there exist infinite families of regular bipartite Ramanujan graphs of every degree bigger than 2. We do this by proving a variant of a conjecture of Bilu and Linial about the existence of good 2-lifts of every graph. We also…
The recent work by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava proves the existence of bipartite Ramanujan (multi)graphs of all degrees and all sizes. However, that paper did not provide a polynomial time algorithm to actually compute such graphs.…
We prove that there exist bipartite, biregular Ramanujan graphs of every degree and every number of vertices provided that the cardinalities of the two sets of the bipartition divide each other. This generalizes a result of Marcus,…
Let $G$ be a finite connected graph, and let $\rho$ be the spectral radius of its universal cover. For example, if $G$ is $k$-regular then $\rho=2\sqrt{k-1}$. We show that for every $r$, there is an $r$-covering (a.k.a. an $r$-lift) of $G$…
For the set of graphs with a given degree sequence, consisting of any number of $2's$ and $1's$, and its subset of bipartite graphs, we characterize the optimal graphs who maximize and minimize the number of $m$-matchings. We find the…
The objectives of this article are three-fold. Firstly, we present for the first time explicit constructions of an infinite family of \textit{unbalanced} Ramanujan bigraphs. Secondly, we revisit some of the known methods for constructing…
We study the existence of perfect matchings in suitably chosen induced subgraphs of random biregular bipartite graphs. We prove a result similar to a classical theorem of Erdos and Renyi about perfect matchings in random bipartite graphs.…
We construct an infinite family of bounded-degree bipartite unique-neighbour expander graphs with arbitrarily unbalanced sides. Although weaker than the lossless expanders constructed by Capalbo et al., our construction is simpler and may…
We consider signed graphs, i.e, graphs with positive or negative signs on their edges. We construct some families of bipartite signed graphs with only two distinct eigenvalues. This leads to constructing infinite families of regular…
In their seminal paper, Lubotzky, Phillips and Sarnak (LPS) defined the notion of regular Ramanujan graphs and gave an explicit construction of infinite families of $(p+1)$-regular Ramanujan Cayley graphs, for infinitely many primes $p$. In…
Recently, a construction of minimal codes arising from a family of almost Ramanujan graphs was shown. Ramanujan graphs are examples of expander graphs that minimize the second-largest eigenvalue of their adjacency matrix. We call such…
In this note we study inhomogeneous random bipartite graphs in random environment. These graphs can be thought of as an extension of the classical Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs in a random environment. We show that the expected number of…
We introduce a new notation for representing labeled regular bipartite graphs of arbitrary degree. Several enumeration problems for labeled and unlabeled regular bipartite graphs have been introduced. A general algorithm for enumerating all…
In this paper we investigate Ramanujan hypergraphs by using hypergraph coverings. We first show that the spectrum of a $k$-fold covering $\bar{H}$ of a connected hypergraph $H$ contains the spectrum of $H$, and that it is the union of the…
This survey accompanies a lecture on the paper ``Interlacing Families I: Bipartite Ramanujan Graphs of All Degrees'' by A. Marcus, D. Spielman, and N. Srivastava at the 2024 International Congress of Basic Science (ICBS) in July, 2024. Its…
We introduce a new graph polynomial that encodes interesting properties of graphs, for example, the number of matchings and the number of perfect matchings. Most importantly, for bipartite graphs the polynomial encodes the number of…
We survey the techniques used in our recent resolution of the Kadison-Singer problem and proof of existence of Ramanujan Graphs of every degree: mixed characteristic polynomials and the method of interlacing families of polynomials. To…
We construct an infinite family of 6-regular graphs $\{G_n\}_{n\ge 3}$ by taking $n$ copies of the Petersen graph and wiring corresponding vertices according to an $n$-cycle permutation. Each $G_n$ has $10n$ vertices, $30n$ edges, and…
Existence of a perfect matching in a random bipartite digraph with bipartition $(V_1, V_2)$, $|V_i|=n$, is studied. The graph is generated in two rounds of random selections of a potential matching partner such that the average number of…
It is proved that for any finite connected graph $G$, there exists an orientation of $G$ such that the spectral radius of the corresponding Hermitian adjacency matrix is smaller or equal to the spectral radius of the universal cover of $G$…
