Query: Graph Matrices: Norm Bounds and Applications   In this paper, we derive nearly tight probabilistic norm bounds for a class
of random matrices we call graph matrices. While the classical case of
symmetric matrices with independent random entries (Wigner's matrices) is a
special case, in general, the entries of our matrices will be dependent in a
way that can be specified in terms of a fixed-size graph we refer to as the
shape. For Wigner's matrices, this shape is $K_2$, the clique on 2 vertices. To
prove our norm bounds, we use the trace power method.
  In a recent series of papers by Potechin and coauthors, graph matrices played
a crucial role in proving average-case lower bounds for the Sum-of-Squares
(SoS) hierarchy of proof systems, one of the most powerful, but difficult to
analyze, techniques in combinatorial optimization. In particular, graph
matrices played a crucial role in proving that low-degree SoS cannot refute the
existence of a large clique in a random graph and proving that low-degree SoS
cannot prove a tight lower bound on the ground state energy of the
Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Hamiltonian. In this paper, we give several additional
applications of graph matrices. We show that for several technical lemmas in
the literature, while the original analyses were quite involved, we can give
direct proofs using graph matrices and our norm bounds.
