Two landmark results in combinatorial random matrix theory, due to Koml\'os and Costello-Tao-Vu, show that discrete random matrices and symmetric discrete random matrices are typically nonsingular. In particular, in the language of graph…

We extend the theory of probability graphons, continuum representations of edge-decorated graphs arising in graph limits theory, to the 'right convergence' point of view. First of all, we generalise the notions of overlay functionals and…

We give concentration bounds for martingales that are uniform over finite times and extend classical Hoeffding and Bernstein inequalities. We also demonstrate our concentration bounds to be optimal with a matching anti-concentration…

Let ${\mathcal D}_{n,d}$ be the set of all $d$-regular directed graphs on $n$ vertices. Let $G$ be a graph chosen uniformly at random from ${\mathcal D}_{n,d}$ and $M$ be its adjacency matrix. We show that $M$ is invertible with probability…

We provide a general theorem on the asymptotic behavior of stochastic processes that conform to a relaxed supermartingale condition. The distinguishing feature of our result is that it provides quantitative convergence guarantees at a much…

We study the exploration of an Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph by a respondent-driven sampling method, where discovered vertices reveal their neighbours. Some of them receive coupons to reveal in their turn their own neighbourhood. This leads…

The aim of the paper is to address the behavior in large population of diffusions interacting on a random, possibly diluted and inhomogeneous graph. This is the natural continuation of a previous work, where the homogeneous Erd\H os-R\'enyi…

We prove that if $G$ is a sparse graph --- it belongs to a fixed class of bounded expansion $\mathcal{C}$ --- and $d\in \mathbb{N}$ is fixed, then the $d$th power of $G$ can be partitioned into cliques so that contracting each of these…

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 obtain Berry-Esseen-type bounds for the sum of random variables with a dependency graph and uniformly bounded moments of order $\delta \in (2,\infty]$ using a Fourier transform approach. Our bounds improve the state-of-the-art in the…

In this note, we derive concentration inequalities for random vectors with subGaussian norm (a generalization of both subGaussian random vectors and norm bounded random vectors), which are tight up to logarithmic factors.

The sparse analogue of Szemer\'edi's regularity method has played a central role in the development of extremal results for random graphs. While the sparse embedding lemma (the KLR conjecture) has been resolved, the corresponding sparse…

We consider classes of pseudo-random graphs on $n$ vertices for which the degree of every vertex and the co-degree between every pair of vertices are in the intervals $(np - Cn^\delta,np+Cn^\delta)$ and $(np^2- C n^\delta, np^2 +C…

In this paper we describe a triple correspondence between graph limits, information theory and group theory. We put forward a new graph limit concept called log-convergence that is closely connected to dense graph limits but its main…

In majority dynamics, agents located at the vertices of an undirected simple graph update their binary opinions synchronously by adopting those of the majority of their neighbors. On infinite unimodular transitive graphs (e.g., Cayley…
