A recent result of one of the authors says that every connected subcubic bipartite graph that is not isomorphic to the Heawood graph has at least one, and in fact a positive proportion of its eigenvalues in the interval [-1,1]. We construct…
New criteria for which Cayley graphs of cyclic groups of any order can be completely determined--up to isomorphism--by the eigenvalues of their adjacency matrices is presented. Secondly, a new construction for pairs of nonisomorphic Cayley…
Let $G$ be a finite group with symmetric generating set $S$, and let $c = \max_{R > 0} |B(2R)|/|B(R)|$ be the doubling constant of the corresponding Cayley graph, where $B(R)$ denotes an $R$-ball in the word-metric with respect to $S$. We…
A Cayley graph of a group $H$ is a finite simple graph $\Gamma$ such that its automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(\Gamma)$ contains a subgroup isomorphic to $H$ acting regularly on $V(\Gamma)$, while a Haar graph of $H$ is a finite simple…
We analyze properties of semigroups generated by Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta+V$ or polyharmonic operators $-(-\Delta)^m$, on metric graphs both on $L^p$-spaces and spaces of continuous functions. In the case of spatially constant…
We discuss Neumann problems for self-adjoint Laplacians on (possibly infinite) graphs. Under the assumption that the heat semigroup is ultracontractive we discuss the unique solvability for non-empty subgraphs with respect to the vertex…
This paper deals with spectral graph theory issues related to questions of monotonicity and comparison of eigenvalues. We consider finite directed graphs with non symmetric edge weights and we introduce a special self-adjoint operator as…
It is known that the spectrum of Schr\"odinger operators with sparse potentials consists of singular continuous spectrum. We give a sufficient condition so that the edge of the singular continuous spectrum is not an eigenvalue and construct…
We consider Dirac, Pauli and Schr\"odinger quantum magnetic Hamiltonians of full rank in ${\rm L}^2 \big(\mathbb{R}^{2d} \big)$, $d \ge 1$, perturbed by non-self-adjoint (matrix-valued) potentials. On the one hand, we show the existence of…
We construct rich families of Schr\"odinger operators on symmetric graphs, both quantum and combinatorial, whose spectral degeneracies are persistently larger than the maximal dimension of an irreducible representations of the symmetry…
We consider weighted graphs, we equip them with a metric structure given by a weighted distance, and we discuss essential self-adjointness for weighted graph Laplacians and Schr\"odinger operators in the metrically non complete case.
In a recent paper Gunnells, Scott and Walden have determined the complete spectrum of the Schreier graph on the symmetric group corresponding to the Young subgroup $S_{n-2}\times S_2$ and generated by initial reversals. In particular they…
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…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator on zigzag graphs with a periodic potential. The spectrum of this operator consists of an absolutely continuous part (intervals separated by gaps) plus an infinite number of eigenvalues with infinite…
In recent work on equiangular lines, Jiang, Tidor, Yuan, Zhang, and Zhao showed that a connected bounded degree graph has sublinear second eigenvalue multiplicity. More generally they show that there cannot be too many eigenvalues near the…
The graphs with all equal negative or positive eigenvalues are special kind in the spectral graph theory. In this article, several iterated line graphs $\mathcal{L}^k(G)$ with all equal negative eigenvalues $-2$ are characterized for $k\ge…
We study spectral properties of the standard (also called Kirchhoff) Laplacian and the anti-standard (or anti-Kirchhoff) Laplacian on a finite, compact metric graph. We show that the positive eigenvalues of these two operators coincide…
The connective constant $\mu(G)$ of an infinite transitive graph $G$ is the exponential growth rate of the number of self-avoiding walks from a given origin. The relationship between connective constants and amenability is explored in the…
We study a special class of graphs with a strong transience feature called uniform transience. We characterize uniform transience via a Feller-type property and via validity of an isoperimetric inequality. We then give a further…
We use two variational techniques to prove upper bounds for sums of the lowest several eigenvalues of matrices associated with finite, simple, combinatorial graphs. These include estimates for the adjacency matrix of a graph and for both…
