How to understand the combinatorial Laplacian $\Delta$ which is defined on the graph?

This is the Laplacian (up to a sign). … The fact that you put a "$-$" sign or not depends entirely on your taste: if you want a Laplacian with negative spectrum, you should put a "$-$", otherwise don't (it's a standard trick to see that $A^* …

Invertibility of group Laplacian in $\ell^1$

Corollary: 0 is in the spectrum of $L_1$ and the Laplacian cannot be inverted $\ell^1$. Note the argument is true in any graph. … As a complementary remark the image of the Laplacian is not dense (in a graph with an infinite connected component). …
