Abstract
We study random graphs with arbitrary distributions of expected degree and derive expressions for the spectra of their adjacency and modularity matrices. We give a complete prescription for calculating the spectra that is exact in the limit of large network size and large vertex degrees. We also study the effect on the spectra of hubs in the network, vertices of unusually high degree, and show that these produce isolated eigenvalues outside the main spectral band, akin to impurity states in condensed matter systems, with accompanying eigenvectors that are strongly localized around the hubs. We give numerical results that confirm our analytic expressions.
