We give an explicit construction of vertex-transitive tight triangulations of $d$-manifolds for $d\geq 2$. More explicitly, for each $d\geq 2$, we construct two $(d^2+5d+5)$-vertex neighborly triangulated $d$-manifolds whose vertex-links…

We revisit the classical question of the relationship between the diameter of a graph and its expansion properties. One direction is well understood: expander graphs exhibit essentially the lowest possible diameter. We focus on the reverse…

Let $G$ be a large-girth $d$-regular graph and $\mu$ be a random process on the vertices of $G$ produced by a randomized local algorithm. We prove the upper bound $(k+1-2k/d)\Bigl(\frac{1}{\sqrt{d-1}}\Bigr)^k$ for the (absolute value of…

We study the problem of constructing explicit codes whose rate and distance match the Gilbert-Varshamov bound in the low-rate, high-distance regime. In 2017, Ta-Shma gave an explicit family of codes where every pair of codewords has…

A graph with vertex set V and edge set E is called a (d,c)-expander if the maximum degree of a vertex is d and, for every subset W of V that has cardinality at most |V|/2, the number of edges between vertices in W and vertices outside of W…

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…

We construct a family of maximal linklessly embeddable graphs on $n$ vertices and $3n-5$ edges for all $n\ge 10$, and another family on $n$ vertices and $m< \frac{25n}{12}-\frac{1}{4}$ edges for all $n\ge 13$. The latter significantly…

We construct an explicit family of 3-XOR instances hard for $\Omega(n)$-levels of the Sum-of-Squares (SoS) semi-definite programming hierarchy. Not only is this the first explicit construction to beat brute force search (beyond low-order…

We study the Erdos distance problem over finite Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces. Our main tools are graphs associated to finite Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces that are considered in Bannai-Shimabukuro-Tanaka (2004, 2007). These…

The second largest eigenvalue of a graph is an important algebraic parameter which is related with the expansion, connectivity and randomness properties of a graph. Expanders are highly connected sparse graphs. In coding theory, Expander…

In this paper we investigate Ramanujan hypergraphs by using hypergraph coverings. We first show that the spectrum of a $k$-fold covering $\bar{H}$ of a connected hypergraph $H$ contains the spectrum of $H$, and that it is the union of the…

An infinite family of bounded-degree 'unique-neighbor' expanders was constructed explicitly by Alon and Capalbo (2002). We present an infinite family F of bounded-degree unique-neighbor expanders with the additional property that every…

The graphs $D(k,q)$ have connected components $CD(k,q)$ giving the best known bounds on extremal problems with {\em forbidden\/} even cycles, and are denser than the well-known graphs of Lubotzky, Phillips, Sarnak and Margulis. Despite…

We say that a $d$-regular graph is a $\gamma$-expander if for every not too large set of vertices $S$, there are at least $\gamma d |S|$ edges leaving $S$, and we say that a graph $G$ is $\gamma$-far from bipartite if at least $\gamma e(G)$…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called an expander if every vertex subset $U$ of size up to $|V|/2$ has an external neighborhood whose size is comparable to $|U|$. Expanders have been a subject of intensive research for more than three decades and…

For every integer d > 9, we construct infinite families {G_n}_n of d+1-regular graphs which have a large girth > log_d |G_n|, and for d large enough > 1,33 log_d |G_n|. These are Cayley graphs on PGL_2(q) for a special set of d+1 generators…

Let X be a 2-dimensional simplicial complex. The degree of an edge e is the number of 2-faces of X containing e. The complex X is an \epsilon-expander if the coboundary d_1(\phi) of every Z_2-valued 1-cochain \phi \in C^1(X;Z_2) satisfies…

In this paper, we study the large-scale structure of dense regular graphs. This involves the notion of robust expansion, a recent concept which has already been used successfully to settle several longstanding problems. Roughly speaking, a…

We construct a family of constant-rate highly-symmetric self-dual qLDPC codes on high dimensional expanders. This is the first self-dual code constructed on high dimensional expanders and also the first such code with a rich (e.g.…

We construct vertex transitive lattices on products of trees of arbitrary dimension $d \geq 1$ based on quaternion algebras over global fields with exactly two ramified places. Starting from arithmetic examples, we find non-residually…
