It was conjectured by Alon and proved by Friedman that a random d-regular graph has nearly the largest possible spectral gap, more precisely, the largest absolute value of the non-trivial eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix is at most 2 √ ( d − 1) + o(1) with probability tending to one as the size of the graph tends to infinity. We will discuss a new method to prove this statement and give some extensions to random lifts and related models.
