Abstract

A model of regular infinite hypertrees is developed to mimic forhypergraphs what infinite trees do for graphs. Two notions of spectra,or “first eigenvalue,” are then examined for the infinitetree, obtaining a precise value for the first notion and obtaining someestimates for the second. The results indicate agreement of the firsteigenvalue of the infinite hypertree with the “secondeigenvalue” of a random hypergraph of the same degree, to withinlogarithmic factors, at least for the first notion of firsteigenvalue.—Author's Abstract
