We give an efficient algorithm that transforms any bounded degree expander graph into another that achieves almost optimal (namely, near-quadratic, $d \leq 1/\lambda^{2+o(1)}$) trade-off between (any desired) spectral expansion $\lambda$…

A Cayley graph on the symmetric group $S_n$ is said to have the Aldous property if its strictly second largest eigenvalue (that is, the largest eigenvalue strictly smaller than the degree) is attained by the standard representation of…

In this paper, we study the order of a maximal clique in an amply regular graph with a fixed smallest eigenvalue by considering a vertex that is adjacent to some (but not all) vertices of the maximal clique. As a consequence, we show that…

Uncertainty principles present an important theoretical tool in signal processing, as they provide limits on the time-frequency concentration of a signal. In many real-world applications the signal domain has a complicated irregular…

We give a new recurrence formula for the eigenvalues of the derangement graph. Consequently, we provide a simpler proof of the Alternating Sign Property of the derangement graph. Moreover, we prove that the absolute value of the eigenvalue…

The acyclic edge colouring problem is extensively studied in graph theory. The corner-stone of this field is a conjecture of Alon et. al.\cite{alonacyclic} that $a'(G)\le \Delta(G)+2$. In that and subsequent work, $a'(G)$ is typically…

This paper studies higher index theory for a random sequence of bounded degree, finite graphs with diameter tending to infinity. We show that in a natural model for such random sequences the following hold almost surely: the coarse…

This paper systematically studies the behavior of the leading eigenvectors for independent edge undirected random graphs generated from a general latent position model whose link function is possibly infinite rank and also possibly…

Let P_{n,d,D} denote the graph taken uniformly at random from the set of all labelled planar graphs on {1,2,...,n} with minimum degree at least d(n) and maximum degree at most D(n). We use counting arguments to investigate the probability…

Given a `genus' function $g=g(n)$, we let $\mathcal{E}^g$ be the class of all graphs $G$ such that if $G$ has order $n$ (that is, has $n$ vertices) then it is embeddable in a surface of Euler genus at most $g(n)$. Let the random graph $R_n$…

We study the average number $\mathcal{A}(G)$ of colors in the non-equivalent colorings of a graph $G$. We show some general properties of this graph invariant and determine its value for some classes of graphs. We then conjecture several…

We prove that a random $d$-regular graph, with high probability, is a cut sparsifier of the clique with approximation error at most $\left(2\sqrt{\frac 2 \pi} + o_{n,d}(1)\right)/\sqrt d$, where $2\sqrt{\frac 2 \pi} = 1.595\ldots$ and…

In this article we generalize a theorem of Benson for generalized quadrangles to strongly regular graphs and directed strongly regular graphs. The main result provides numerical restrictions on the number of fixed vertices and the number of…

The spectrum of a graph is closely related to many graph parameters. In particular, the spectral gap of a regular graph which is the difference between its valency and second eigenvalue, is widely seen an algebraic measure of connectivity…

We observe that the Laplacian of a random graph G on N vertices represents and explicitly solvable model in the limit of infinitely increasing N. Namely, we derive recurrent relations for the limiting averaged moments of the adjacency…

Let $p(Y_1, \dots, Y_d, Z_1, \dots, Z_e)$ be a self-adjoint noncommutative polynomial, with coefficients from $\mathbb{C}^{r \times r}$, in the indeterminates $Y_1, \dots, Y_d$ (considered to be self-adjoint), the indeterminates $Z_1,…

We prove that for each $d\geq 3$ and $k\geq 2$, the set of limit points of the first $k$ eigenvalues of sequences of $d$-regular graphs is \[ \{(\mu_1,\dots,\mu_k): d=\mu_1\geq \dots\geq \mu_{k}\geq2\sqrt{d-1}\}. \] The result for $k=2$ was…

One of the major themes of random matrix theory is that many asymptotic properties of traditionally studied distributions of random matrices are universal. We probe the edges of universality by studying the spectral properties of random…

Let $d$ be a fixed large integer. For any $n$ larger than $d$, let $A_n$ be the adjacency matrix of the random directed $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices, with the uniform distribution. We show that $A_n$ has rank at least $n-1$ with…

In 2018, by Ramsey and Hoffman theory, Koolen, Yang, and Yang presented a structural result on graphs with smallest eigenvalue at least $-3$ and large minimum degree. In this study, we depart from the conventional use of Ramsey theory and…
