Résumé
Abstract

Soit $k ⩾ 3$ , pour chaque $ϵ > 0$ , il existe une constante positive $C = C (ϵ, k) > 0$ telle que pour chaque groupe abélien G et pour chaque sous-ensemble symétrique $S \subset G$ ne contenant pas 1, le nombre de valeurs propres $λ_{i}$ de graphe de Cayley $X = X (G, S)$ qui satisfont $λ_{i} ⩾ k - ϵ$ est au moins $C \cdot | G |$ .

We show that Abelian Cayley graphs contain many closed walks of even length. This implies that given $k ⩾ 3$ , for each $ϵ > 0$ , there exists $C = C (ϵ, k) > 0$ such that for each Abelian group G and each symmetric subset S of G with $1 \notin S$ , the number of eigenvalues $λ_{i}$ of the Cayley graph $X = X (G, S)$ such that $λ_{i} ⩾ k - ϵ$ is at least $C \cdot | G |$ . This can be regarded as an analogue for Abelian Cayley graphs of a theorem of Serre for regular graphs.
