An expander graph is a graph in which small sets of vertices have large 'boundary'. Ramanujan graphs are examples of expanders.

Ramanujan graphs from varieties over finite fields

Let $G$ be a $d$-regular graph. Let $d= \lambda_1 \ge \lambda_2 \ge \dots \ge \lambda_n \ge -d $ be the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of $G$, and set $\lambda = \max (|\lambda_2| , |\lambda_n|) …

Ramanujan graphs from varieties over finite fields

Someone pointed me to a reference that answers my question about whether this example is new, so I will answer my own question in case it is helpful for anyone else. This paper: https://dl.acm.org/doi …

What are the best bounds to date on the maximum girth of a cubic graph?

The girth of a graph is the length of its smallest cycle. Studying the maximum possible girth for a $k$-regular graph on $n$ vertices is a very well-studied problem. In the 1988 paper "Ramanujan grap …

Do there exist "expanding" $1$-skeletons of simple $4$-polytopes?

Let $\{ G_n \}_{n \ge 1}$ be a sequence of graphs such that the number of vertices of $G_n$ tends to $\infty$ as $n \to \infty$. We say that $\{ G_n \}_{n \ge 1}$ is an expander family if $\lambda_2( …
