Abstract

In this paper we examine spectral properties of random intersection graphs when the number of vertices is equal to the number of labels. We call this class symmetric random intersection graphs. We examine symmetric random intersection graphs when the probability that a vertex selects a label is close to the connectivity threshold τc. In particular, we examine the size of the second eigenvalue of the transition matrix corresponding to the Markov Chain that describes a random walk on an instance of the symmetric random intersection graph Gn,n,p. We show that with high probability the second eigenvalue is upper bounded by some constant ζ
