Spectral stability conjecture for simple random walks on complete graphs

From papers

For n2n\ge 2, let PsP^s be the non-lazy simple random walk on the unmixed complete graph Kn+1K_{n+1}, and let DF(Ps)DF(P^s) be the corresponding linearized curvature-flow matrix.

Complete-graph spectral conjecture. The simple random walk PsP^s is asymptotically stable, and the eigenvalues of DF(Ps)DF(P^s) are

n1nwith multiplicity (n2),n+3n2with multiplicity n,-\frac{n-1}{n}\quad\text{with multiplicity }{n\choose 2},\qquad -\frac{n+3}{n^2}\quad\text{with multiplicity }n, n+3nwith multiplicity (n2)1.-\frac{n+3}{n}\quad\text{with multiplicity }{n\choose 2}-1.

As nn\to\infty, these eigenvalues tend respectively to 1-1, 00 (with n+3n21n-\frac{n+3}{n^2}\approx-\frac1n), and 1-1. Numerical verification is reported for n=4,5,6,7n=4,5,6,7, while the general assertion remains open.
