The distribution of eigenvalues of arithmetic inænite graphs

The distribution of eigenvalues of arithmetic inænite graphs Abstract.

Abstract

Abstract. Let q be a principal congruence subgroups of PGL2Y Fq t, then it is known that qnX is an in®nite Ramanujan diagram, where X is the q 1-regular tree. We obtain the limit distributions of eigenvalues of the adjacency operator for qnX . The spectral density of X and the Sato-Tate measure appear as the limit distributions. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi®cation: 11F72, 11F03; 05C25, 58J50. 1 Introduction A Ramanujan graph is de®ned as a k-regular ®nite graph whose nontrivial eigenp values of the adjacency operator have absolute values bounded by 2 k À 1. Such eigenvalue bounds force graphs to have high magni®cations and small diameters, hence these graphs give good communication networks. They also have important applications in computer science. However, it is not easy to determine whether a given graph is Ramanujan, especially when the size of a graph is large.
