Abstract: We investigate the rank of the adjacency matrix of large diluted random graphs: for a sequence of graphs (Gn)ngeq0 converging locally to a Galton--Watson tree T (GWT), we provide an explicit formula for the asymptotic multiplicity of the eigenvalue 0 in terms of the degree generating function phi* of T. In the first part, we show that the adjacency operator associated with T is always self-adjoint; we analyze the associated spectral measure at the root and characterize the distribution of its atomic mass at 0. In the second part, we establish a sufficient condition on phi* for the expectation of this atomic mass to be precisely the normalized limit of the dimension of the kernel of the adjacency matrices of (Gn)ngeq0. Our proofs borrow ideas from analysis of algorithms, functional analysis, random matrix theory and statistical physics.
