In this paper we consider the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph in the sparse regime in the limit as the number of vertices $n$ tends to infinity. We are interested in what this graph looks like when it contains many triangles, in two…

For random operators it is conjectured that spectral properties of an infinite-volume operator are related to the distribution of spectral gaps of finite-volume approximations. In particular, localization and pure point spectrum in infinite…

We analyze the spectral properties of the high-dimensional random geometric graph $G(n, d, p)$, formed by sampling $n$ i.i.d vectors $\{v_i\}_{i=1}^{n}$ uniformly on a $d$-dimensional unit sphere and connecting each pair $\{i,j\}$ whenever…

In this work, we study some statistical properties of the extreme eigenstates of the randomly-weighted adjacency matrices of random graphs. We focus on two random graph models: Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi (ER) graphs and random geometric graphs…

We propose an approach to graph sparsification based on the idea of preserving the smallest $k$ eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Graph Laplacian. This is motivated by the fact that small eigenvalues and their associated eigenvectors tend…

Random-scan Gibbs samplers possess a natural hierarchical structure. The structure connects Gibbs samplers targeting higher dimensional distributions to those targeting lower dimensional ones. This leads to a quasi-telescoping property of…

In this work we propose a random graph model that can produce graphs at different levels of sparsity. We analyze how sparsity affects the graph spectra, and thus the performance of graph neural networks (GNNs) in node classification on…

We connect the mixing behaviour of random walks over a graph to the power of the local-consistency algorithm for the solution of the corresponding constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). We extend this connection to arbitrary CSPs and their…

We define a graph to be $S$-regular if it contains an equitable partition given by a matrix $S$. These graphs are generalizations of both regular and bipartite, biregular graphs. An $S$-regular matrix is defined then as a matrix on an…
