We relate the nontrivial singular values $\sigma_2,\ldots,\sigma_n$ of the normalized adjacency matrix of an Eulerian directed graph to combinatorial measures of graph expansion: \\ 1. We introduce a new directed analogue of conductance…

We study the Cheeger constant and Cheeger set for domains obtained as strip-like neighbourhoods of curves in the plane. If the reference curve is complete and finite (a "curved annulus"), then the strip itself is a Cheeger set and the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $S$ be a symmetric generating set of $G$ with $|S| = d$. We show that if the undirected Cayley sum graph $C_{\Sigma}(G,S)$ is an expander graph and is non-bipartite, then the spectrum of its normalised…

We present sweeping line graphs, a generalization of $\Theta$-graphs. We show that these graphs are spanners of the complete graph, as well as of the visibility graph when line segment constraints or polygonal obstacles are considered. Our…

We prove that every amenable one-ended Cayley graph has an invariant spanning tree of one end. More generally, for any 1-ended amenable unimodular random graph we construct a factor of iid percolation (jointly unimodular subgraph) that is…

Cheeger-type inequalities in which the decomposability of a graph and the spectral gap of its Laplacian mutually control each other play an important role in graph theory and network analysis, in particular in the context of expander…

In this paper we study spectra of Laplacians of infinite weighted graphs. Instead of the assumption of local finiteness we impose the condition of summability of the weight function. Such graphs correspond to reversible Markov chains with…

We show that every connected graph can be approximated by a normal tree, up to some arbitrarily small error phrased in terms of neighbourhoods around its ends. The existence of such approximate normal trees has consequences of both…

Cheeger's inequality shows that any undirected graph $G$ with minimum nonzero normalized Laplacian eigenvalue $\lambda_G$ has a cut with conductance at most $O(\sqrt{\lambda_G})$. Qualitatively, Cheeger's inequality says that if the…

We prove a general result characterizing a specific class of Serrin domains as supports of unbounded and periodic constant mean curvature graphs. We apply this result to prove the existence of a family of unbounded periodic constant mean…

In this paper we consider the Cheeger problem for non-convex domains, with a particular interest in the case of planar strips, which have been extensively studied in recent years. Our main results are an estimate on the Cheeger constant of…

We derive Cheeger inequalities for directed graphs and hypergraphs using the reweighted eigenvalue approach that was recently developed for vertex expansion in undirected graphs [OZ22,KLT22,JPV22]. The goal is to develop a new spectral…

We show that the Cheeger constant of compact surfaces is bounded by a function of the area. We apply this to isoperimetric profiles of bounded genus non-compact surfaces, to show that if their isoperimetric profile grows faster than $\sqrt…

We present two results on expansion of Cayley graphs. The first result settles a conjecture made by DeVos and Mohar. Specifically, we prove that for any positive constant $c$ there exists a finite connected subset $A$ of the Cayley graph of…

We show that a one-ended, locally finite, measurable graph on a standard probability space admits a measurable one-ended spanning subtree if and only if it is measure-hyperfinite. This answers a question posed by Bowen, Poulin, and Zomback…
