Isogeny and Ramanujan Graphs

• Isogeny graph (general definition, degree, duals...).

• Starting vertex (Bröker's algorithm).

• Isogeny Volcanos: Sutherland might be a good source https://arxiv.org/abs/1208.5370.

• Supersingular isogeny graphs

  • Size, everything is defined over GF(p^2). (*as long as the degree divides (p+1)^2 or (p-1)^2).

  • Random walks are probably the best motivation to define Ramanujanness, and are directly applicable to cryptography. A (perhaps too large) source is Hoory-Linial-Wigderson.

  • Consequence from Ramanujan + random walk convergence: O(log p) diameter.
