Minimum supports of eigenfunctions of Johnson graphs

Abstract

We study the weights of eigenvectors of the Johnson graphs $J(n,w)$. For any $i \in \{1,\ldots,w\}$ and sufficiently large $n, n\geq n(i,w)$ we show that an eigenvector of $J(n,w)$ with the eigenvalue $\lambda_i=(n-w-i)(w-i)-i$ has at least $2^i(^{n-2i}_{w-i})$ nonzeros and obtain a characterization of eigenvectors that attain the bound.
