In this paper we study the impact of random exponential edge weights on the distances in a random graph and, in particular, on its diameter. Our main result consists of a precise asymptotic expression for the maximal weight of the shortest weight paths between all vertices (the weighted diameter) of sparse random graphs, when the edge weights are i.i.d. exponential random variables.

For each $n ge 1$, let $mathrm{d}^n=(d^{n}(i),1 le i le n)$ be a sequence of positive integers with even sum $sum_{i=1}^n d^n(i) ge 2n$. Let $(G_n,T_n,Gamma_n)$ be uniformly distributed over the set of simple graphs $G_n$ with degree sequence $mathrm{d}^n$, endowed with a spanning tree $T_n$ and rooted along an oriented edge $Gamma_n$ of $G_n$ which is not an edge of $T_n$. Under a finite variance assumption on degrees in $G_n$, we show that, after rescaling, $T_n$ converges in distribution to the Brownian continuum random tree as $n to infty$. Our main tool is a new version of Pitmans additive coalescent (https://doi.org/10.1006/jcta.1998.2919), which can be used to build both random trees with a fixed degree sequence, and random tree-weighted graphs with a fixed degree sequence. As an input to the proof, we also derive a Poisson approximation theorem for the number of loops and multiple edges in the superposition of a fixed graph and a random graph with a given degree sequence sampled according to the configuration model; we find this to be of independent interest.
We consider the spectral gap of a uniformly chosen random $(d_1,d_2)$-biregular bipartite graph $G$ with $|V_1|=n, |V_2|=m$, where $d_1,d_2$ could possibly grow with $n$ and $m$. Let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. Under the assumption that $d_1geq d_2$ and $d_2=O(n^{2/3}),$ we show that $lambda_2(A)=O(sqrt{d_1})$ with high probability. As a corollary, combining the results from Tikhomirov and Youssef (2019), we confirm a conjecture in Cook (2017) that the second singular value of a uniform random $d$-regular digraph is $O(sqrt{d})$ for $1leq dleq n/2$ with high probability. This also implies that the second eigenvalue of a uniform random $d$-regular digraph is $O(sqrt{d})$ for $1leq dleq n/2$ with high probability. Assuming $d_2=O(1)$ and $d_1=O(n^2)$, we further prove that for a random $(d_1,d_2)$-biregular bipartite graph, $|lambda_i^2(A)-d_1|=O(sqrt{d_1(d_2-1)})$ for all $2leq ileq n+m-1$ with high probability. The proofs of the two results are based on the size biased coupling method introduced in Cook, Goldstein, and Johnson (2018) for random $d$-regular graphs and several new switching operations we defined for random bipartite biregular graphs.
We study the spectrum of a random multigraph with a degree sequence ${bf D}_n=(D_i)_{i=1}^n$ and average degree $1 ll omega_n ll n$, generated by the configuration model, and also the spectrum of the analogous random simple graph. We show that, when the empirical spectral distribution (ESD) of $omega_n^{-1} {bf D}_n $ converges weakly to a limit $ u$, under mild moment assumptions (e.g., $D_i/omega_n$ are i.i.d. with a finite second moment), the ESD of the normalized adjacency matrix converges in probability to $ uboxtimes sigma_{rm sc}$, the free multiplicative convolution of $ u$ with the semicircle law. Relating this limit with a variant of the Marchenko--Pastur law yields the continuity of its density (away from zero), and an effective procedure for determining its support. Our proof of convergence is based on a coupling between the random simple graph and multigraph with the same degrees, which might be of independent interest. We further construct and rely on a coupling of the multigraph to an inhomogeneous ErdH{o}s-Renyi graph with the target ESD, using three intermediate random graphs, with a negligible fraction of edges modified in each step.
A bootstrap percolation process on a graph G is an infection process which evolves in rounds. Initially, there is a subset of infected nodes and in each subsequent round every uninfected node which has at least r infected neighbours becomes infected and remains so forever. The parameter r > 1 is fixed. We consider this process in the case where the underlying graph is an inhomogeneous random graph whose kernel is of rank 1. Assuming that initially every vertex is infected independently with probability p > 0, we provide a law of large numbers for the number of vertices that will have been infected by the end of the process. We also focus on a special case of such random graphs which exhibit a power-law degree distribution with exponent in (2,3). The first two authors have shown the existence of a critical function a_c(n) such that a_c(n)=o(n) with the following property. Let n be the number of vertices of the underlying random graph and let a(n) be the number of the vertices that are initially infected. Assume that a set of a(n) vertices is chosen randomly and becomes externally infected. If a(n) << a_c(n), then the process does not evolve at all, with high probability as n grows, whereas if a(n)>> a_c(n), then with high probability the final set of infected vertices is linear. Using the techniques of the previous theorem, we give the precise asymptotic fraction of vertices which will be eventually infected when a(n) >> a_c (n) but a(n) = o(n). Note that this corresponds to the case where p approaches 0.
We compute the eigenvalue fluctuations of uniformly distributed random biregular bipartite graphs with fixed and growing degrees for a large class of analytic functions. As a key step in the proof, we obtain a total variation distance bound for the Poisson approximation of the number of cycles and cyclically non-backtracking walks in random biregular bipartite graphs, which might be of independent interest. As an application, we translate the results to adjacency matrices of uniformly distributed random regular hypergraphs.
