Let A=(aij)i,j=1n be a Hermitian matrix of size n⩾2, and set ρ(A)=1n2∑i,j=1naij,disc(A)=maxX,Y⊂[n],X≠∅,Y≠∅1|X||Y|∑i∈X∑j∈Y(aij−ρ(A)).We show that the second singular value σ2(A) of A satisfiesσ2(A)⩽C1disc(A)lognfor some absolute constant C1, and this is best possible up to a multiplicative constant. Moreover, we construct infinitely many dense regular graphs G such thatσ2(A(G))⩾C2disc(A(G))log|G|,where C2>0 is an absolute constant and A(G) is the adjacency matrix of G. In particular, these graphs disprove two conjectures of Fan Chung. |
