Ramanujan graphs have extremal spectral properties, which imply a remarkable combinatorial behavior. In this paper we compute the high dimensional Hodge-Laplace spectrum of Ramanujan triangle complexes, and show that it implies a…

In this work we introduce a new notion of expansion in higher dimensions that is stronger than the well studied cosystolic expansion notion, and is termed {\em Collective-cosystolic expansion}. We show that tensoring two cosystolic…

The behavior of a certain random growth process is analyzed on arbitrary regular and non-regular graphs. Our argument is based on the Expander Mixing Lemma, which entails that the results are strongest for Ramanujan graphs, which…

We report on some recent developments in the search for optimal network topologies. First we review some basic concepts on spectral graph theory, including adjacency and Laplacian matrices, and paying special attention to the topological…

We describe a new method to remove short cycles on regular graphs while maintaining spectral bounds (the nontrivial eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix), as long as the graphs have certain combinatorial properties. These combinatorial…

A finite, connected, $(d+1)$-regular graph $G$ is called Ramanujan if every its eigenvalue $\lambda$ satisfies either $\lambda=\pm (d+1)$ or $|\lambda|\leq 2\sqrt{d}$. The Ramanujan condition corresponds to the optimal rate of decay of…

Let $X$ be an infinite graph of bounded degree; e.g., the Cayley graph of a free product of finite groups. If $G$ is a finite graph covered by $X$, it is said to be $X$-Ramanujan if its second-largest eigenvalue $\lambda_2(G)$ is at most…

Many combinatorial optimization problems can be phrased in the language of constraint satisfaction problems. We introduce a graph neural network architecture for solving such optimization problems. The architecture is generic; it works for…

High-dimensional expanders generalize the notion of expander graphs to higher-dimensional simplicial complexes. In contrast to expander graphs, only a handful of high-dimensional expander constructions have been proposed, and no elementary…

Ramanujan complexes were defined as high dimensional analogues of the optimal expanders, Ramanujan graphs. They were constructed as quotients of the Euclidean building (also called the affine building and the Bruhat-Tits building) of…

This paper considers a higher-dimensional generalization of the notion of Ramanujan graphs, defined by Lubotzky, Phillips, and Sarnak. Specifically the Ramanujan property is studied for cubical complexes which are uniformized by an ordered…

We prove that there exist infinite families of regular bipartite Ramanujan graphs of every degree bigger than 2. We do this by proving a variant of a conjecture of Bilu and Linial about the existence of good 2-lifts of every graph. We also…

The method of Murty and Cioab\u{a} shows how one can use results about gaps between primes to construct families of almost-Ramanujan graphs. In this paper we give a simpler construction which avoids the search for perfect matchings and thus…

The Cayley graphs of finite groups are known to provide several examples of families of expanders, and some of them are Ramanujan graphs. Babai studied isospectral non-isomorphic Cayley graphs of the dihedral groups. Lubotzky, Samuels and…
