Local Graph Partitions for Approximation and Testing
—We introduce a new tool for approximation and testing algorithms called partitioning oracles. We develop methods for constructing them for any class of bounded-degree graphs wit...

Embedding nearly-spanning bounded degree trees
We derive a sufficient condition for a sparse graph G on n vertices to contain a copy of a tree T of maximum degree at most d on (1 − )n vertices, in terms of the expansion prop...

Expanders are universal for the class of all spanning trees
Given a class of graphs F, we say that a graph G is universal for F, or F-universal, if every H ∈ F is contained in G as a subgraph. The construction of sparse universal graphs ...

Statistical properties of community structure in large social and information networks
A large body of work has been devoted to identifying community structure in networks. A community is often though of as a set of nodes that has more connections between its member...

Embeddings of Topological Graphs: Lossy Invariants, Linearization, and 2-Sums
We study the properties of embeddings, multicommodity flows, and sparse cuts in minor-closed families of graphs which are also closed under 2-sums; this includes planar graphs, g...
