A 3-regular counterexample to the Bilu--Linial signing conjecture

Abstract

We construct a finite connected simple cubic graph F such that every signing of its edges yields an adjacency matrix with an eigenvalue outside [-2sqrt2,2sqrt2]. This disproves the Bilu--Linial signing conjecture for general regular graphs. The proof is elementary, using a four-vertex calculation and a scalar recurrence.
