Spectral theory of dense hypergraph limits

Abstract

In this work, we develop a spectral theory for hypergraph limits. We prove the convergence of the spectra of adjacency and Laplacian matrices for hypergraph sequences converging in the 11-cut metric. On the other hand, we give examples of matrix operators associated with hypergraphs whose spectra are not continuous with respect to the 11-cut metric. Furthermore, we show that these operators are continuous with respect to other cut norms.
