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…

We show that every regular graph with good local expansion has a spanning Lipschitz subgraph with large girth and minimum degree. In particular, this gives a finite analogue of the dynamical solution to the von Neumann problem by Gaboriau…

Let M be a bounded domain of a Euclidian space with smooth boundary. We relate the Cheeger constant of M and the conductance of a neighborhood graph defined on a random sample from M. By restricting the minimization defining the latter over…

In this article, we study relations between the local geometry of planar graphs (combinatorial curvature) and em global geometric invariants, namely the Cheeger constants and the exponential growth. We also discuss spectral applications.

We establish mild conditions under which a possibly irregular, sparse graph $G$ has "many" strong orientations. Given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, orient each edge in either direction with probability $1/2$ independently. We show that if…

We revisit the classical question of the relationship between the diameter of a graph and its expansion properties. One direction is well understood: expander graphs exhibit essentially the lowest possible diameter. We focus on the reverse…

In this article, we derive bounds for values of the global geometry of locally tessellating planar graphs, namely, the Cheeger constant and exponential growth, in terms of combinatorial curvatures. We also discuss spectral implications for…

We show that the diameter of a uniformly drawn spanning tree of a simple connected graph on $n$ vertices with minimal degree linear in $n$ is typically of order $\sqrt{n}$. A byproduct of our proof, which is of independent interest, is that…

In this paper, we use machine learning to show that the Cheeger constant of a connected regular graph has a predominant linear dependence on the largest two eigenvalues of the graph spectrum. We also show that a trained deep neural network…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite graph. For $v\in V$ we denote by $G_v$ the subgraph of $G$ that is induced by $v$'s neighbor set. We say that $G$ is $(a,b)$-regular for $a>b>0$ integers, if $G$ is $a$-regular and $G_v$ is $b$-regular for every…

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…

We prove that sparse string graphs in a fixed surface have linear expansion. We extend this result to the more general setting of sparse region intersection graphs over any proper minor-closed class. The proofs are combinatorial and…

The Cheeger constant of an open set of the Euclidean space is defined by minimizing the ratio "perimeter over volume", among all its smooth compactly contained subsets. We consider a natural variant of this problem, where the volume of…

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…

In this paper we consider higher isoperimetric numbers of a (finite directed) graph. In this regard we focus on the $n$th mean isoperimetric constant of a directed graph as the minimum of the mean outgoing normalized flows from a given set…

In this paper, we establish Buser type inequalities, i.e., upper bounds for eigenvalues in terms of Cheeger constants. We prove the Buser's inequality for an infinite but locally finite connected graph with Ricci curvature lower bounds.…

We study the appearance of the giant component in random subgraphs of a given large finite graph G=(V,E) in which each edge is present independently with probability p. We show that if G is an expander with vertices of bounded degree, then…

The graph Cheeger constant and Cheeger inequalities are generalized to the case of hypergraphs whose edges have the same cardinality. In particular, it is shown that the second largest eigenvalue of the generalized normalized Laplacian is…

Let $d \geq 2$. The Cheeger constant of a graph is the minimum surface-to-volume ratio of all subsets of the vertex set with relative volume at most 1/2. There are several ways to define surface and volume here: the simplest method is to…

The Cheeger constant of a graph is the smallest possible ratio between the size of a subgraph and the size of its boundary. It is well known that this constant must be at least $\frac{\lambda_1}{2}$, where $\lambda_1$ is the smallest…
