Let $X$ denote a connected $(q+1)$-regular undirected graph of finite order $n$. The graph $X$ is called Ramanujan whenever $$ |\lambda|\leq 2q^{\frac{1}{2}} $$ for all nontrivial eigenvalues $\lambda$ of $X$. We consider the variant…

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 consider the normalized adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular graph on $N$ vertices with any fixed degree $d\geq 3$ and denote its eigenvalues as $\lambda_1=d/\sqrt{d-1}\geq \lambda_2\geq\lambda_3\cdots\geq \lambda_N$. We establish…

We present a new approach to showing that random graphs are nearly optimal expanders. This approach is based on recent deep results in combinatorial group theory. It applies to both regular and irregular random graphs. Let G be a random…

For every constant $d \geq 3$ and $\epsilon > 0$, we give a deterministic $\mathrm{poly}(n)$-time algorithm that outputs a $d$-regular graph on $\Theta(n)$ vertices that is $\epsilon$-near-Ramanujan; i.e., its eigenvalues are bounded in…

Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph with Laplacian eigenvalues $0=\lambda_1(G)\le \lambda_2(G)\le\cdots\le \lambda_n(G)$. Motivated by the Alon-Boppana bound and the Ramanujan phenomenon for regular graphs, Spielman conjectured that, for every…

Suppose $q$ is a fixed odd prime power, $F(\vec{x})$ is a non-degenerate quadratic form over $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ of discriminant $\Delta$ in $d\geq 5$ variables $\vec{x}$, and $f,g\in\mathbb{F}_q[t]$,…

Ramanujan graphs are graphs whose spectrum is bounded optimally. Such graphs have found numerous applications in combinatorics and computer science. In recent years, a high dimensional theory has emerged. In this paper these developments…

In a breakthrough work, Marcus-Spielman-Srivastava recently showed that every $d$-regular bipartite Ramanujan graph has a 2-lift that is also $d$-regular bipartite Ramanujan. As a consequence, a straightforward iterative brute-force search…

We prove that there exist infinite families of regular bipartite Ramanujan graphs of every degree bigger than 2. We do this by proving a variant of a conjecture of Bilu and Linial about the existence of good 2-lifts of every graph. We also…

A random $n$-lift of a base graph $G$ is its cover graph $H$ on the vertices $[n]\times V(G)$, where for each edge $u v$ in $G$ there is an independent uniform bijection $\pi$, and $H$ has all edges of the form $(i,u),(\pi(i),v)$. A main…

We prove that there exist bipartite Ramanujan graphs of every degree and every number of vertices. The proof is based on analyzing the expected characteristic polynomial of a union of random perfect matchings, and involves three…

We consider the routing of neutral atoms on a reconfigurable lattice in terms of hypergraph transformations. We prove the routing number of a Ramanujan $(d,r)$-regular hypergraph on $N$ vertices satisfies $\mathrm{rt}(H) = \Theta(\log N)$,…

Recently Friedman proved Alon's conjecture for many families of d-regular graphs, namely that given any epsilon > 0 `most' graphs have their largest non-trivial eigenvalue at most 2 sqrt{d-1}+epsilon in absolute value; if the absolute value…

Kahale proved that linear sized sets in $d$-regular Ramanujan graphs have vertex expansion $\sim\frac{d}{2}$ and complemented this with construction of near-Ramanujan graphs with vertex expansion no better than $\frac{d}{2}$. However, the…

We construct an infinite family of 6-regular graphs $\{G_n\}_{n\ge 3}$ by taking $n$ copies of the Petersen graph and wiring corresponding vertices according to an $n$-cycle permutation. Each $G_n$ has $10n$ vertices, $30n$ edges, and…

We show that for every prime $d$ and $\alpha\in (0,1/6)$, there is an infinite sequence of $(d+1)$-regular graphs $G=(V,E)$ with girth at least $2\alpha \log_{d}(|V|)(1-o_d(1))$, second adjacency matrix eigenvalue bounded by…

Recently, a construction of minimal codes arising from a family of almost Ramanujan graphs was shown. Ramanujan graphs are examples of expander graphs that minimize the second-largest eigenvalue of their adjacency matrix. We call such…

An $(n,d,\lambda)$-graph is a $d$ regular graph on $n$ vertices in which the absolute value of any nontrivial eigenvalue is at most $\lambda$. For any constant $d \geq 3$, $\epsilon>0$ and all sufficiently large $n$ we show that there is a…

Let R be a finite commutative ring with unity, and let G = (V, E) be a simple graph. The zero-divisor graph, denoted by {\Gamma}(R) is a simple graph with vertex set as R, and two vertices x, y \in R are adjacent in {\Gamma}(R) if and only…
