Résumé :
We consider the spectra of different self-adjoint matrices associated with a combinatorial graph, including the adjacency matrix A and the graph Laplacian H=-∆. Using a) a new variational technique, and b) identities related to Chebyshev's inequality, we relate the structure of the graph to sums of eigenvalues and, more generally, the statistical distribution of eigenvalues. This is joint work with J. Stubbe of EPFL. Recently similar results have been obtained for elliptic differential operators on manifolds with El Soufi and Ilias, Univ. de Tours.
