Signing a graph to have small magnitude eigenvalues ★★

Author(s): Bilu; Linial

Conjecture   If $ A $ is the adjacency matrix of a $ d $-regular graph, then there is a symmetric signing of $ A $ (i.e. replace some $ +1 $ entries by $ -1 $) so that the resulting matrix has all eigenvalues of magnitude at most $ 2 \sqrt{d-1} $.

Keywords: eigenvalue; expander; Ramanujan graph; signed graph; signing

Linial-Berge path partition duality ★★★

Author(s): Berge; Linial

Conjecture   The minimum $ k $-norm of a path partition on a directed graph $ D $ is no more than the maximal size of an induced $ k $-colorable subgraph.

Keywords: coloring; directed path; partition

The Alon-Tarsi basis conjecture ★★

Author(s): Alon; Linial; Meshulam

Conjecture   If $ B_1,B_2,\ldots B_p $ are invertible $ n \times n $ matrices with entries in $ {\mathbb Z}_p $ for a prime $ p $, then there is a $ n \times (p-1)n $ submatrix $ A $ of $ [B_1 B_2 \ldots B_p] $ so that $ A $ is an AT-base.

Keywords: additive basis; matrix

The additive basis conjecture ★★★

Author(s): Jaeger; Linial; Payan; Tarsi

Conjecture   For every prime $ p $, there is a constant $ c(p) $ (possibly $ c(p)=p $) so that the union (as multisets) of any $ c(p) $ bases of the vector space $ ({\mathbb Z}_p)^n $ contains an additive basis.

Keywords: additive basis; matrix
