Martin Worcester Polytechnic Institute Email: [email protected] Q-polynomial, or \cometric", association schemes were de¯ned in 1973. Perhaps the most important examples are the classical distance-regular graphs. Up until 1998, very little was known about Q- polynomial schemes which are not also P -polynomial. With two fundamental papers of H. Suzuki, that changed. The last decade has seen a flurry of activity in this area. Many new examples have been found, including the ¯rst known in¯nite family of primitive Q-polynomial schemes which are neither P - polynomial nor duals of P -polynomial schemes.

  • Interlacing Families I: Bipartite Ramanujan Graphs of All Degrees
    Annals of Mathematics 182 (2015), 307{325 Interlacing families I: Bipartite Ramanujan graphs of all degrees By Adam W. Marcus, Daniel A. Spielman, and Nikhil Srivastava Abstract 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 establish the existence of infinite families of \irregular Ramanujan" graphs, whose eigenvalues are bounded by the spectral radius of their universal cover. Such families were conjectured to exist by Linial and others. In particular, we prove the existence of infinite families of (c; d)-biregular bipartite graphs with all nontrivial eigenvalues bounded by p p c − 1 + d − 1 for all c; d ≥ 3. Our proof exploits a new technique for controlling the eigenvalues of certain random matrices, which we call the \method of interlacing polynomials." 1. Introduction Ramanujan graphs have been the focus of substantial study in Theoret- ical Computer Science and Mathematics. They are graphs whose nontrivial adjacency matrix eigenvalues are as small as possible. Previous constructions of Ramanujan graphs have been sporadic, only producing infinite families of Ramanujan graphs of certain special degrees. In this paper, we prove a variant of a conjecture of Bilu and Linial [4] and use it to realize an approach they suggested for constructing bipartite Ramanujan graphs of every degree. Our main technical contribution is a novel existence argument. The con- jecture of Bilu and Linial requires us to prove that every graph has a signed adjacency matrix with all of its eigenvalues in a small range.

  • X-Ramanujan-Graphs.Pdf
    X-Ramanujan graphs Sidhanth Mohanty* Ryan O’Donnell† April 4, 2019 Abstract Let X be an infinite graph of bounded degree; e.g., the Cayley graph of a free product of finite groups. If G is a finite graph covered by X, it is said to be X-Ramanujan if its second- largest eigenvalue l2(G) is at most the spectral radius r(X) of X, and more generally k-quasi- X-Ramanujan if lk(G) is at most r(X). In case X is the infinite D-regular tree, this reduces to the well known notion of a finite D-regular graph being Ramanujan. Inspired by the Interlacing Polynomials method of Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava, we show the existence of infinitely many k-quasi-X-Ramanujan graphs for a variety of infinite X. In particular, X need not be a tree; our analysis is applicable whenever X is what we call an additive product graph. This additive product is a new construction of an infinite graph A1 + ··· + Ac from finite “atom” graphs A1,..., Ac over a common vertex set. It generalizes the notion of the free product graph A1 ∗ · · · ∗ Ac when the atoms Aj are vertex-transitive, and it generalizes the notion of the uni- versal covering tree when the atoms Aj are single-edge graphs. Key to our analysis is a new graph polynomial a(A1,..., Ac; x) that we call the additive characteristic polynomial. It general- izes the well known matching polynomial m(G; x) in case the atoms Aj are the single edges of G, and it generalizes the r-characteristic polynomial introduced in [Rav16, LR18].

  • Zeta Functions of Finite Graphs and Coverings, III
    Graph Zeta Functions 1 INTRODUCTION Zeta Functions of Finite Graphs and Coverings, III A. A. Terras Math. Dept., U.C.S.D., La Jolla, CA 92093-0112 E-mail: [email protected] and H. M. Stark Math. Dept., U.C.S.D., La Jolla, CA 92093-0112 Version: March 13, 2006 A graph theoretical analog of Brauer-Siegel theory for zeta functions of number …elds is developed using the theory of Artin L-functions for Galois coverings of graphs from parts I and II. In the process, we discuss possible versions of the Riemann hypothesis for the Ihara zeta function of an irregular graph. 1. INTRODUCTION In our previous two papers [12], [13] we developed the theory of zeta and L-functions of graphs and covering graphs. Here zeta and L-functions are reciprocals of polynomials which means these functions have poles not zeros. Just as number theorists are interested in the locations of the zeros of number theoretic zeta and L-functions, thanks to applications to the distribution of primes, we are interested in knowing the locations of the poles of graph-theoretic zeta and L-functions. We study an analog of Brauer-Siegel theory for the zeta functions of number …elds (see Stark [11] or Lang [6]). As explained below, this is a necessary step in the discussion of the distribution of primes. We will always assume that our graphs X are …nite, connected, rank 1 with no danglers (i.e., degree 1 vertices). Let us recall some of the de…nitions basic to Stark and Terras [12], [13].

    DIAMETER OF RAMANUJAN GRAPHS AND RANDOM CAYLEY GRAPHS NASER T SARDARI Abstract. We study the diameter of LPS Ramanujan graphs Xp;q. We show that the diameter of the bipartite Ramanujan graphs is greater than (4=3) logp(n) + O(1) where n is the number of vertices of Xp;q. We also con- struct an infinite family of (p + 1)-regular LPS Ramanujan graphs Xp;m such that the diameter of these graphs is greater than or equal to b(4=3) logp(n)c. On the other hand, for any k-regular Ramanujan graph we show that the distance of only a tiny fraction of all pairs of vertices is greater than (1 + ) logk−1(n). We also have some numerical experiments for LPS Ramanu- jan graphs and random Cayley graphs which suggest that the diameters are asymptotically (4=3) logk−1(n) and logk−1(n), respectively.

  • RAMANUJAN GRAPHS and SHIMURA CURVES What Follows
    RAMANUJAN GRAPHS AND SHIMURA CURVES PETE L. CLARK What follows are some long, rambling notes of mine on Ramanujan graphs. For a period of about two months in 2006 I thought very intensely on this subject and had thoughts running in several different directions. In paricular this document contains the most complete exposition so far of my construction of expander graphs using Hecke operators on Shimura curves. I am posting this document now (March 2009) by request of John Voight. Introduction Let q be a positive integer. A finite, connected graph G in which each vertex has degree q +1 and for which every eigenvalue λ of the adjacency matrix A(G) satisfies √ |λ| = q + 1 (such eigenvalues are said to be trivial) or |λ| ≤ 2 q is a Ramanujan graph, and an infinite sequence Gi of pairwise nonisomorphic Ramanujan graphs of common vertex degree q + 1 is called a Ramanujan family. These definitions may not in themselves arouse immediate excitement, but in fact the search for Ramanujan families of vertex degree q + 1 has made for some of the most intriguing and beautiful mathematics of recent times. In this paper we offer a survey of the theory of Ramanujan graphs and families, together with a new result and a “new” perspective in terms of relations to (Drinfeld-)Shimura curves. We must mention straightaway that the literature already contains many fine surveys on Ramanujan graphs: especially recommended are the introductory treat- ment of Murty [?], the short book of Davidoff, Sarnak and Vallette [?] (which can be appreciated by undergraduates and research mathematicians alike), and the beau- tiful books of Sarnak [?] and Lubotzsky [?], which are especially deft at exposing connections to many different areas of mathematics.

  • Spectral Graph Theory
    Spectral Graph Theory Max Hopkins Dani¨elKroes Jiaxi Nie [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Jason O'Neill Andr´esRodr´ıguezRey Nicholas Sieger [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Sam Sprio [email protected] Winter 2020 Quarter Abstract Spectral graph theory is a vast and expanding area of combinatorics. We start these notes by introducing and motivating classical matrices associated with a graph, and then show how to derive combinatorial properties of a graph from the eigenvalues of these matrices. We then examine more modern results such as polynomial interlacing and high dimensional expanders. 1 Introduction These notes are comprised from a lecture series for graduate students in combinatorics at UCSD during the Winter 2020 Quarter. The organization of these expository notes is as follows. Each section corresponds to a fifty minute lecture given as part of the seminar. The first set of sections loosely deals with associating some specific matrix to a graph and then deriving combinatorial properties from its spectrum, and the second half focus on expanders. Throughout we use standard graph theory notation. In particular, given a graph G, we let V (G) denote its vertex set and E(G) its edge set. We write e(G) = jE(G)j, and for (possibly non- disjoint) sets A and B we write e(A; B) = jfuv 2 E(G): u 2 A; v 2 Bgj. We let N(v) denote the neighborhood of the vertex v and let dv denote its degree. We write u ∼ v when uv 2 E(G).

  • New and Explicit Constructions of Unbalanced Ramanujan Bipartite
    New and Explicit Constructions of Unbalanced Ramanujan Bipartite Graphs Shantanu Prasad Burnwal and Kaneenika Sinha and M. Vidyasagar ∗ November 13, 2020 Abstract The objectives of this article are three-fold. Firstly, we present for the first time explicit constructions of an infinite family of unbalanced Ramanujan bigraphs. Secondly, we revisit some of the known methods for constructing Ramanujan graphs and discuss the computational work required in actually implementing the various construction methods. The third goal of this article is to address the following question: can we construct a bipartite Ramanujan graph with specified degrees, but with the restriction that the edge set of this graph must be distinct from a given set of “prohibited” edges? We provide an affirmative answer in many cases, as long as the set of prohibited edges is not too large. MSC Codes: Primary 05C50, 05C75; Secondary 05C31, 68R10 1 Introduction A fundamental theme in graph theory is the study of the spectral gap of a regular (undirected) graph, that is, the difference between the two largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of such a graph. Analogously, the spectral gap of a bipartite, biregular graph is the difference between the two largest singular values of its biadjacency matrix (please see Section 2 for detailed definitions). Ramanujan graphs (respectively Ramanujan bigraphs) are graphs with an optimal spectral gap. Explicit constructions of such graphs have multifaceted applications in areas such as computer science, coding theory and compressed sensing. In particular, in [1] the first and third authors arXiv:1910.03937v2 [stat.ML] 12 Nov 2020 show that Ramanujan graphs can provide the first deterministic solution to the so-called matrix completion problem.

First, from a practical viewpoint, these graphs resolve an extremal problem in communication network theory (see for exam- ple [2]). Second, from a more aesthetic viewpoint, they fuse diverse branches of pure mathematics, namely, number theory, representation theory and alge- braic geometry. The purpose of this survey is to unify some of the recent developments and expose certain open problems in the area. This survey is by no means an exhaustive one and demonstrates a highly number-theoretic bias. For more comprehensive surveys, we refer the reader to [27], [9] or [13]. For a more up-to-date survey highlighting the connection between graph theory and automorphic representations, we refer the reader to Winnie Li’s recent survey article [11]. A graph X is a triple consisting of a vertex set V = V(X),anedge set E = E(X) and a map that associates to each edge two vertices (not necessarily distinct) called its endpoints.Aloop is an edge whose endpoints are equal. Multiple edges are edges having the same pair of endpoints. A simple graph is one having no loops or multiple edges. If a graph has loops or multiple edges, we will call it a multigraph. When two vertices u and v are endpoints of an edge, we say they are adjacent and (sometimes) write u ∼ v to indicate this.
