Expander Graphs in Pure and Applied Mathematics

Objective

Expander graphs are finite graphs which play a fundamental role in many areas of computer science such as: communication networks, algorithms and more. Several areas of deep mathematics have been used in order to give explicit constructions of such graphs e.g. Kazhdan property (T) from representation theory of semisimple Lie groups, Ramanujan conjecture from the theory of automorphic forms and more. In recent years, computer science has started to pay its debt to mathematics: expander graphs are playing an increasing role in several areas of pure mathematics. The goal of the current research plan is to deepen these connections in both directions with special emphasis of the more recent and surprising application of expanders to group theory, the geometry of 3-manifolds and number theory.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
