Consider a `dense' Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph model $G=G_{n,M}$ with $n$ vertices and $M$ edges, where we assume the edge density $M/\binom{n}{2}$ is bounded away from 0 and 1. Fix $k=k(n)$ with $k/n$ bounded away from 0 and~1, and let…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of Betti numbers, twisted torsion and other spectral invariants of sequences of locally symmetric spaces. Our main results are uniform versions of the DeGeorge--Wallach Theorem, of a theorem of Delorme and…

An $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ is $(d,\alpha)$-degenerate if $m_1(G)\le{d}$ and there exists a constant $\varepsilon >0$ such that for every subset $U\subseteq{V(G)}$ with size $2\le|U|\le{\varepsilon n}$, we have…

We define notions of local topological convergence and local geometric convergence for embedded graphs in $\mathbb{R}^n,$ and study their properties. The former is related to Benjamini-Schramm convergence, and the latter to weak convergence…

The paper is devoted to the problem of establishing right-convergence of sparse random graphs. This concerns the convergence of the logarithm of number of homomorphisms from graphs or hyper-graphs $\G_N, N\ge 1$ to some target graph $W$.…

Similarity metrics are central in the theory of large networks and graph limits. For bounded-degree graphs, the Benjamini--Schramm metric records the distribution of rooted neighbourhoods, while the stronger colored-neighbourhood metric…

Local convergence has emerged as a fundamental tool for analyzing sparse random graph models. We introduce a new notion of local convergence, color convergence, based on the Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm. Color convergence fully characterizes…

We prove new lower bounds on the modularity of graphs. Specifically, the modularity of a graph $G$ with average degree $\bar d$ is $\Omega(\bar{d}^{-1/2})$, under some mild assumptions on the degree sequence of $G$. The lower bound…

We generalize the Harary-Sachs theorem to $k$-uniform hypergraphs: the codegree-$d$ coefficient of the characteristic polynomial of a uniform hypergraph ${\cal H}$ can be expressed as a weighted sum of subgraph counts over certain…

The Harary-Sachs theorem for $k$-uniform hypergraphs equates the codegree-$d$ coefficient of the adjacency characteristic polynomial of a uniform hypergraph with a weighted sum of subgraph counts over certain multi-hypergraphs with $d$…

Local convergence of bounded degree graphs was introduced by Benjamini and Schramm. This result was extended further by Lyons to bounded average degree graphs. In this paper we study the convergence of random tree sequences with given…

We consider an inhomogeneous version of the Barak-Erd\H{o}s graph, i.e. a directed Er\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph on $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with no loop. Given $f$ a Riemann-integrable non-negative function on $[0,1]^2$ and $\gamma > 0$, we define…

We analyze some local properties of sparse Erdos-Renyi graphs, where $d(n)/n$ is the edge probability. In particular we study the behavior of very short paths. For $d(n)=n^{o(1)}$ we show that $G(n,d(n)/n)$ has asymptotically almost surely…

A {\it weak (Berge) cycle} is an alternating sequence of vertices and (hyper)edges $C=(v_0, e_1, v_1, ..., v_{\ell-1}, e_\ell, v_{\ell}=v_0)$ such that the vertices $v_0, ..., v_{\ell-1}$ are distinct with $v_k, v_{k+1} \in e_{k}$ for each…
