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.
