Eigenvalue gaps of the Laplacian of random graphs

Abstract

We show that, with very high probability, the random graph Laplacian has simple spectrum. Our method provides a quantitatively effective estimate of the spectral gaps. Along the way, we establish results on affine no-gaps delocalization, no-structure delocalization, overcrowding and small entries of the eigenvectors for the Laplacian model. These findings are of independent interest.
