Krivelevich–Sudakov conjecture on Hamiltonicity of pseudorandom graphs

Let GG be an (n,d,λ)(n,d,\lambda)-graph, meaning a dd-regular graph on nn vertices whose second-largest eigenvalue in absolute value satisfies λ(G)λ|\lambda(G)|\leq\lambda.

Krivelevich–Sudakov conjecture. There exists C>0C>0 such that if

dλC,\frac{d}{\lambda}\geq C,

then every (n,d,λ)(n,d,\lambda)-graph is Hamiltonian.

This conjecture seeks a constant spectral-expansion condition guaranteeing Hamiltonicity, strengthening the previously known bound depending on nn. It is known in the case dnαd\geq n^\alpha for every fixed α\alpha, but remains open in general.
