Abstract
We describe the non-backtracking spectrum of a stochastic block model with connection probabilities [Formula: see text]. In this regime we answer a question posed in [L. Dall’Amico, R. Couillet and N. Tremblay, Revisiting the Bethe–Hessian: Improved community detection in sparse heterogeneous graphs, in Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems (2019), pp. 4039–4049] regarding the existence of a real eigenvalue “inside” the bulk, close to the location [Formula: see text]. We also introduce a variant of the Bauer–Fike theorem well suited for perturbations of quadratic eigenvalue problems, which could be of independent interest.
