چکیده

Some of the research surveyed here was supported by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, CA. Research at MSRI is supported in part by NSF grant DMS-9022140. We survey what is known about spectra of combinatorial Laplacians (or adjacency operators) of graphs on the simplest finite symmetric spaces. This work is joint with J. Angel, N. Celniker, A. Medrano, P. Myers, S. Poulos, H. Stark, C. Trimble, and E. Velasquez. For each finite field Fq with q odd, we consider graphs associated to finite Euclidean and non-Euclidean symmetric spaces over Fq . We are mainly interested in three questions regarding the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the combinatorial Laplacian as q goes to infinity: How large is the second largest eigenvalue, in absolute value, compared with the graph’s degree? (The largest eigenvalue is the degree.) What can one say about the distribution of eigenvalues? What can one say about the “level curves” of the eigenfunctions?

Spectra of Modular and Small-World Matrices

Abstract We compute spectra of symmetric random matrices describing graphs with general modular structure and arbitrary interand intra-module degree distributions, subject only to the constraint of finite mean connectivities. We also evaluate spectra of a certain class of small-world matrices generated from random graphs by introducing shortcuts via additional random connectivity components. Bo...

Axisymmetric Vibrations in Micropolar Thermoelastic Cubic Crystal Plate Bordered with Layers or Half Spaces of Inviscid liquid

In present study is concerned with the propagation of axisymmetric vibrations in a homogenous isotropic micropolar thermoelastic cubic crystal plate bordered with layers or half spaces of inviscid liquid subjected to stress free boundary conditions in context of Lord and Shulman (L-S) and Green and Lindsay (G-L) theories of thermoelasticity. The secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetri...

Signless Laplacians of finite graphs

We survey properties of spectra of signless Laplacians of graphs and discuss possibilities for developing a spectral theory of graphs based on this matrix. For regular graphs the whole existing theory of spectra of the adjacency matrix and of the Laplacian matrix transfers directly to the signless Laplacian, and so we consider arbitrary graphs with special emphasis on the non-regular case. The ...

Response of Two Temperatures on Wave Propagation in Micropolar Thermoelastic Materials with One Relaxation Time Bordered with Layers or Half Spaces of Inviscid Liquid

The present study is concerned with the propagation of Lamb waves in a homogeneous isotropic thermoelastic micropolar solid with two temperatures bordered with layers or half spaces of inviscid liquid subjected to stress free boundary conditions. The generalized theory of thermoelasticity developed by Lord and Shulman has been used to investigate the problem. The secular equations for symmetric...

Generalized Symmetric Berwald Spaces

In this paper we study generalized symmetric Berwald spaces. We show that if a Berwald space $(M,F)$ admits a parallel $s-$structure then it is locally symmetric. For a complete Berwald space which admits a parallel s-structure we show that if the flag curvature of $(M,F)$ is everywhere nonzero, then $F$ is Riemannian.
