Comments on "Discrete Groups, Expanding Graphs and Invariant Measures", by Alexander Lubotzky
@article{FournierFacio2019CommentsO, title={Comments on "Discrete Groups, Expanding Graphs and Invariant Measures", by Alexander Lubotzky}, author={Francesco Fournier-Facio}, journal={arXiv: Group Theory}, year={2019} }
This document is a collection of comments that I wrote down while reading the first four chapters of the book "Discrete Groups, Expanding Graphs and Invariant Measures" by Alexander Lubotzky. Most of them are more detailed versions of proofs. Some imprecisions are pointed out and discussed, and some facts referenced in the book are proven. In the appendix we discuss topics of interest in relation to this book, which are however not necessary for its understanding. The aim of this document…

Expanders and diffusers
- Mathematics
- 1986
Expander graphs are ingredients for making concentrating, switching, and sorting networks, and are closely related to sparse, doubly-stochastic matrices called diffusers. The best explicit examples…

Isoperimetric inequalities in simplicial complexes

A notion of combinatorial expansion for simplicial complexes of general dimension is defined, and it is proved that similar connections exist between the combinatorsial expansion of a complex, and the spectrum of the high dimensional Laplacian defined by Eckmann.

It is seen that all four classical theorems follow from just one partial fractions expansion together with special cases of Jacobi’s triple product identity.
A Theory of Graphs
- Mathematics
- 1993
The theory of graphs has broad and important applications, because so many things can be modeled by graphs, and various puzzles and games are solved easily if a little graph theory is applied.

This thesis primarily investigates the number Rk,n of reduced k X n Latin rectangles. Specifically, we find many congruences that involve Rk,n with the aim of improving our understanding of Rk,n.
