Statistical models on infinite graphs may exhibit inhomogeneous thermodynamic behaviour at macroscopic scales. This phenomenon is of geometrical origin and may be properly described in terms of spectral partitions into subgraphs with well…
The study of graph C*-algebras has a long history in operator algebras. Surprisingly, their quantum symmetries have never been computed so far. We close this gap by proving that the quantum automorphism group of a finite, directed graph…
Over 50 years ago, Lov\'{a}sz proved that two graphs are isomorphic if and only if they admit the same number of homomorphisms from any graph [Acta Math. Hungar. 18 (1967), pp. 321--328]. In this work we prove that two graphs are quantum…
Not necessarily self-adjoint quantum graphs -- differential operators on metric graphs -- are considered. Assume in addition that the underlying metric graph possesses an automorphism (symmetry) $ \mathcal P $. If the differential operator…
This work explores the spectra of quantum graphs where the Schr\"odinger operator on the edges is equipped with a potential. The scattering approach, which was originally introduced for the potential free case, is extended to this case and…
A celebrated theorem of Kanai states that quasi-isometries preserve isoperimetric inequalities between uniform Riemannian manifolds (with positive injectivity radius) and graphs. Our main result states that we can study the (Cheeger)…
We consider the inverse scattering on the quantum graph associated with the hexagonal lattice. Assuming that the potentials on the edges are compactly supported and symmetric, we show that the S-matrix for all energies in any given open set…
We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials on periodic graphs. Their spectra consist of a finite number of bands. We perturb a periodic graph by adding edges in a periodic way (without changing the vertex set) and…
We prove various notions of uniform continuity for compact-quantum-group representations on Hilbert or Banach spaces equivalent to having finite spectrum, i.e. finitely many isotypic components. This generalizes the classical analogue for…
The QE constant of a finite connected graph $G$, denoted by $\mathrm{QEC}(G)$, is by definition the maximum of the quadratic function associated to the distance matrix on a certain sphere of codimension two. We prove that the QE constants…
We prove quantum ergodicity and quantum mixing for sequences of finite Schreier graphs converging to an infinite Cayley graph whose adjacency operator has absolutely continuous spectrum. Under Benjamini-Schramm convergence (or strong…
We determine the optimum topology of quasi-one dimensional nonlinear optical structures using generalized quantum graph models. Quantum graphs are relational graphs endowed with a metric and a multiparticle Hamiltonian acting on the edges,…
We consider a hierarchy of graph invariants that naturally extends the spectral invariants defined by F\"urer (Lin. Alg. Appl. 2010) based on the angles formed by the set of standard basis vectors and their projections onto eigenspaces of…
We introduce a notion of curvature on finite, combinatorial graphs. It can be easily computed by solving a linear system of equations. We show that graphs with curvature bounded below by $K>0$ have diameter bounded by $\mbox{diam}(G) \leq…
We define the independence ratio and the chromatic number for bounded, self-adjoint operators on an L^2-space by extending the definitions for the adjacency matrix of finite graphs. In analogy to the Hoffman bounds for finite graphs, we…
The spectral properties of the Laplacian on a class of quantum graphs with random metric structure are studied. Namely, we consider quantum graphs spanned by the simple $\ZZ^d$-lattice with $\delta$-type boundary conditions at the vertices,…
There are two main notions of a Laplacian operator associated with graphs: discrete graph Laplacians and continuous Laplacians on metric graphs (widely known as quantum graphs). Both objects have a venerable history as they are related to…
We consider Laplacians on periodic equilateral metric graphs. The spectrum of the Laplacian consists of an absolutely continuous part (which is a union of an infinite number of non-degenerated spectral bands) plus an infinite number of flat…
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the isoperimetric inequality for symmetric log-convex probability measures on the line. Using geometric arguments we first re-prove that extremal sets in the isoperimetric inequality are intervals or…
We begin with the characterization of quantum graphs as left ideals in $\mathcal M \otimes_{eh} \mathcal M$ (the extended Haagerup tensor product of $\mathcal M$ with itself) to avoid technicalities surrounding representation dependence of…
