title = "Ramanujan graphs and the solution of the Kadison-Singer problem",
abstract = "We survey the techniques used in our recent resolution of the Kadison-Singer problem and proof of existence of Ramanujan Graphs of every degree: mixed characteristic polynomials and the method of interlacing families of polynomials. To demonstrate the method of interlacing families of polynomials, we give a simple proof of Bourgain and Tzafriri's restricted invertibility principle in the isotropic case.",

note = "Funding Information: Thus, each vector has the same norm ‖r(a,b)‖2 = 2/d, and applying Theorems 1.7 and 5.1 shows that ( √ )2 ∗ 2 √ (a,b)∈Er(a,b)r(a,b)≤d 1+ d = d + 2 + 2 2d with positive probability. This bound has asymptotically the same dependence on d as the correct bound established using matching polynomials. Moreover, it immediately proves that the dependence on ϵ in Theorem 5.1 cannot be improved: if it could,√ the above argument would imply the existence of signings with largest eigenvalue o( d), contradicting the Alon–Boppana bound. Thus, the matrices arising in the study of Ramanujan graphs witness the sharpness of our bounds on mixed characteristic polynomials. 2 Acknowledgements. Adam W.
