In particular\, the spectral gap\ , the gap between the first and second largest eigenvalues\, measures the expanding property of the graph. In this talk\, I will focus on random d-r egular graphs. I’ll first explain some conjectures on the extremal eigenva lue distributions of adjacency matrices of random d-regular graphs\; some have been solved\, some are still widely open. In the second part of the t alk\, I will give a new proof of Alon’s second eigenvalue conjecture that with high probability\, the second eigenvalue of a random d-regular graph is bounded by 2√ d − 1+o(1)\, where we can show that the error term is pol ynomially small in the size of the graph. This is based on a joint work wi th Horng-Tzer Yau.\n DTSTART:20220606T160000Z DTEND:20220606T170000Z SUMMARY:Jiaoyang Huang (Courant Institute) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/jiaoyang-huang-courant-in stitute-339748 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
