Let $G$ be a dense graph with good expansion properties and not too close to being bipartite. Let $\boldsymbol d$ be a graphical degree sequence. Under very weak conditions, we find the number of subgraphs of $G$ with degree sequence…
In this paper we consider the expansion properties and the spectrum of the combinatorial Laplace operator of a $d$-dimensional Linial-Meshulam random simplicial complex, above the cohomological connectivity threshold. We consider the…
In this paper, we study the convergence of the spectral embeddings obtained from the leading eigenvectors of certain similarity matrices to their population counterparts. We opt to study this convergence in a uniform (instead of average)…
We establish a free analogue of Obata's rigidity theorem. More precisely, Cheng and Zhou (2017) proved that on a weighted Riemannian manifold, the sharp spectral gap (Poincar\'e constant) is achieved only when the space splits isometrically…
Unevenly spaced samples from a periodic function are common in signal processing and can often be viewed as a perturbed equally spaced grid. In this paper, we analyze how the uneven distribution of the samples impacts the quality of…
We investigate discrete Poincar\'e inequalities on piecewise polynomial subspaces of the Sobolev spaces H(curl) and H(div) in three space dimensions. We characterize the dependence of the constants on the continuous-level constants, the…
Inspired by notorious combinatorial optimization problems on graphs, in this paper we consider a series of related problems defined using a metric space and topology determined by a graph. Particularly, we present the Independent Set,…
We propose a Laplacian based on general inner product spaces, which we call the inner product Laplacian. We show the combinatorial and normalized graph Laplacians, as well as other Laplacians for hypergraphs and directed graphs, are special…
In this paper we analyze the global existence of classical solutions to the initial boundary-value problem for a nonlinear parabolic equation describing the collective behavior of an ensemble of neurons. These equations were obtained as a…
A celebrated theorem of Fr\"oberg gives a complete combinatorial classification of quadratic square-free monomial ideals with a linear resolution. A generalization of this theorem to higher degree square-free monomial ideals is an active…
Let $\Gamma$ be a connected bridgeless metric graph, and fix a point $v$ of $\Gamma$. We define combinatorial iterated integrals on $\Gamma$ along closed paths at $v$, a unipotent generalization of the usual cycle pairing and the…
High dimensional expanders simultaneously satisfying spectral and combinatorial (coboundary) expansion have recently played a major role in breakthroughs in PCP and coding theory, but the only known construction of such complexes is…
We introduce a spectrum of monotone coarse invariants for metric measure spaces called Poincar\'{e} profiles. The two extremes of this spectrum determine the growth of the space, and the separation profile as defined by…
In contrast to the usual quantum systems which have at most a finite number of open spectral gaps if they are periodic in more than one direction, periodic quantum graphs may have gaps arbitrarily high in the spectrum. This property of…
Classical spectral theory provides powerful tools for analyzing linear operators, but does not extend naturally to nonlinear or compositional settings. In particular, there is no general way to transport spectral invariants in a functorial…
We prove that a distance-regular graph with a dominant distance is a spectral expander. The key ingredient of the proof is a new inequality on the intersection numbers. We use the spectral gap bound to study the structure of the…
We demonstrate the necessity of a Poincar\'e type inequality for those metric measure spaces that satisfy Cheeger's generalization of Rademacher's theorem for all Lipschitz functions taking values in a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym…
Intermittent maps of Pomeau-Manneville type are well-studied in one-dimension, and also in higher dimensions if the map happens to be Markov. In general, the nonconformality of multidimensional intermittent maps represents a challenge that…
We study the spectral gap behavior of an operator obtained by summing a random permutation $M$ and a deterministic bistochastic matrix $Q$. We are interested in the asymptotic in terms of dimension. In the case where $(M,Q)$ are…
This article establishes a rigorous spectral framework for the mathematical analysis of SHAP values. We show that any predictive model defined on a discrete or multi-valued input space admits a generalized Fourier expansion with respect to…
