We study the graph alignment problem over two independent Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs on $n$ vertices, with edge density $p$ falling into two regimes separated by the critical window around $p_c=\sqrt{\log n/n}$. Our result reveals an…
The problem of detecting edge correlation between two Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs on $n$ unlabeled nodes can be formulated as a hypothesis testing problem: under the null hypothesis, the two graphs are sampled independently; under the…
We prove that the bulk eigenvectors of sparse random matrices, i.e. the adjacency matrices of Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs or random regular graphs, are asymptotically jointly normal, provided the averaged degree increases with the size of the…
We consider the adjacency matrix $A$ of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph on $N$ vertices with edge probability $d/N$. For $(\log \log N)^4 \ll d \lesssim \log N$, we prove that the eigenvalues near the spectral edge form asymptotically a Poisson…
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a commonly used method for acquiring data on hidden communities, i.e., those that lack unbiased sampling frames or face social stigmas that make their mem- bers unwilling to identify themselves. Obtaining…

We compute an asymptotic expansion in $1/c$ of the limit in $n$ of the empirical spectral measure of the adjacency matrix of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph with $n$ vertices and parameter $c/n$. We present two different methods, one of…
A significant generalization of the Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph model is an `inhomogeneous' random graph where the edge probabilities vary according to vertex types. We identify the threshold value for this random graph with a finite…
In this paper, we present a novel approach based on the random walk process for finding meaningful representations of a graph model. Our approach leverages the transient behavior of many short random walks with novel initialization…
We analyse the eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph $\mathbb G(N,d/N)$ for $\sqrt{\log N} \ll d \lesssim \log N$. We show the existence of a localized phase, where each eigenvector is exponentially localized…
We consider spectral properties of sparse sample covariance matrices, which includes biadjacency matrices of the bipartite Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph model. We prove a local law for the eigenvalue density up to the upper spectral edge. Under a…
This paper examines a model involving two dynamic Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs that evolve in parallel, with edges in each graph alternating between being present and absent according to specified on- and off-time distributions. A key…
We study the intersection of a random geometric graph with an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph. Specifically, we generate the random geometric graph $G(n, r)$ by choosing $n$ points uniformly at random from $D=[0, 1]^2$ and joining any two points…
We study the spectrum of a random multigraph with a degree sequence ${\bf D}_n=(D_i)_{i=1}^n$ and average degree $1 \ll \omega_n \ll n$, generated by the configuration model, and also the spectrum of the analogous random simple graph. We…
Let $A$ be the (rescaled) adjacency matrix of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs $\cal G(N,p)$. For $N^{-1+\tau} \leqslant p\leqslant N^{-\tau}$, we study the fluctuation of $f(A)_{ii}$ on the global and mesoscopic spectral scales. We show that…
