Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes are quantum stabilizer codes where each stabilizer acts on a constant number of qubits and each qubit is acted on by a constant number of stabilizers. We study qLDPC codes constructed from…

For an abelian group $H$ acting on the set $[\ell]$, an $(H,\ell)$-lift of a graph $G_0$ is a graph obtained by replacing each vertex by $\ell$ copies, and each edge by a matching corresponding to the action of an element of $H$. In this…

We study the minimum distance of codes defined on bipartite graphs. Weight spectrum and the minimum distance of a random ensemble of such codes are computed. It is shown that if the vertex codes have minimum distance $\ge 3$, the overall…

In this paper infinite families of linear binary nested completely regular codes are constructed. They have covering radius $\rho$ equal to $3$ or $4$, and are $1/2^i$-th parts, for $i\in\{1,\ldots,u\}$ of binary (respectively, extended…

The {\em overlap number} of a finite $(d+1)$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is defined as the largest constant $c(H)\in (0,1]$ such that no matter how we map the vertices of $H$ into $\R^d$, there is a point covered by at least a $c(H)$-fraction of…

We study the classical expander codes, introduced by Sipser and Spielman \cite{SS96}. Given any constants $0< \alpha, \varepsilon < 1/2$, and an arbitrary bipartite graph with $N$ vertices on the left, $M < N$ vertices on the right, and…

Expander graphs have been intensively studied in the last four decades. In recent years a high dimensional theory of expanders has emerged, and several variants have been studied. Among them stand out coboundary expansion and topological…

We establish explicit operator norm bounds and essential self-adjointness criteria for discrete Hodge Laplacians on weighted graphs and simplicial complexes. For unweighted $d$-regular graphs we prove the universal estimate…

A graph is $k$-vertex-critical if $\chi(G)=k$ but $\chi(G-v)<k$ for all $v\in V(G)$. We construct a new infinite families of $k$-vertex-critical $(P_5,C_5)$-free graphs for all $k\ge 6$. Our construction generalizes known constructions for…

Let $G$ be the circulant graph $C_n(S)$ with $S\subseteq\{ 1,\ldots,\left \lfloor\frac{n}{2}\right \rfloor\}$ and let $\Delta$ be its independence complex. We describe the well-covered circulant graphs with 2-dimensional $\Delta$ and…

We present near-linear time list decoding algorithms (in the block-length $n$) for expander-based code constructions. More precisely, we show that (i) For every $\delta \in (0,1)$ and $\epsilon > 0$, there is an explicit family of good…

We construct a connected cubic nonnormal Cayley graph on $\mathrm{A}_{2^m-1}$ for each integer $m\geqslant4$ and determine its full automorphism group. This is the first infinite family of connected cubic nonnormal Cayley graphs on…

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…

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…

We construct a new family of explicit codes that are list decodable to capacity and achieve an optimal list size of $O(\frac{1}{\epsilon})$. In contrast to existing explicit constructions of codes achieving list decoding capacity, our…

We construct small cancellation labellings for some infinite sequences of finite graphs of bounded degree. We use them to define infinite graphical small cancellation presentations of groups. This technique allows us to provide examples of…

By implementing algorithmic versions of Sapozhenko's graph container methods, we give new algorithms for approximating the number of independent sets in bipartite graphs. Our first algorithm applies to $d$-regular, bipartite graphs…

We obtain faster expander decomposition algorithms for directed graphs, matching the guarantees of Saranurak and Wang (SODA 2019) for expander decomposition on undirected graphs. Our algorithms are faster than prior work and also generalize…

We study the problem of graph clustering where the goal is to partition a graph into clusters, i.e. disjoint subsets of vertices, such that each cluster is well connected internally while sparsely connected to the rest of the graph. In…

We study connections between expansion in bipartite graphs and efficient online matching modeled via several games. In the basic game, an opponent switches {\em on} and {\em off} nodes on the left side and, at any moment, at most $K$ nodes…
