Abstract:

In this talk we review a recent result by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava (http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.4132) which establishes the existence of infinite families of bipartite Ramanujan graphs for all degrees. We cover all the necessary background from Linear Algebra, Graph Theory and Theory of Stable polynomials.
