The trace formula expresses the spectral density in terms of periodic orbits. Explore how the spectrum of A can count periodic walks and vice versa. Discover the relationship between periodic walks and the spectrum of A. Learn about t-periodic non-backscattering walks, Kesten McKay, and Non-Ramanujan graphs. Dive into the w-trace formula and backscattering walks weighted by (1-w) per backscatter. Delve into the spectrum of equilateral quantum graphs from Bartholdi.

2. The trace formula Purpose: express the spectral density in terms of “periodic orbits”
2.a The “canonical “ trace formula The spectrum of A can be used to count n.b. periodic walks and vice versa The counts of n.b. periodic walks can be used to compute the spectrum of A
Sum over t-periodic non-backscattering walks. Kesten McKay
2.b A continuous family of trace formulas Y(w) gives a weight (1-w) to back scattering!
The w - trace formula includes counting of backscattering walks weighted by (1-w) per backscatter!
