Discrete isoperimetric constants and concentration

Résumé/Abstract :

We report on some Cheeger-type inequalities relating the spectral gap to isoperimetric constants (such as sparsity and expansion) in the context of graphs. If time permits, we describe the proof of a deviation inequality on the weighted discrete cube conjectured by Talagrand.
