Spectral moments and characteristic polynomials of vertex expansion hypergraphs of graphs
Abstract
The s-vertex expansion hypergraph G[s] is the 2s-uniform hypergraph obtained by replacing each vertex of a graph G with s new vertices. A closed walk in G is called an s-multiple closed walk if the number of times it arrives at each vertex of G is divisible by s. In this paper, we obtain an expression for the spectral moments of G[s] in terms of s-multiple closed walks in G. Using these spectral moments, we give the characteristic polynomial of G[s].

AB - The s-vertex expansion hypergraph G^[s] is the 2s-uniform hypergraph obtained by replacing each vertex of a graph G with s new vertices. A closed walk in G is called an s-multiple closed walk if the number of times it arrives at each vertex of G is divisible by s. In this paper, we obtain an expression for the spectral moments of G^[s] in terms of s-multiple closed walks in G. Using these spectral moments, we give the characteristic polynomial of G^[s].
