Abstract

We discuss a construction of families of hyperbolic rational homology spheres with coexact 11-form spectral gap uniformly bounded below which is well-suited for explicit computations. Using this, we provide several disjoint intervals containing a limit point of such spectral gaps, the rightmost of which is [0.8196,0.8277][0.8196,0.8277]. Furthermore, we also exhibit a family of arithmetic examples, answering a question of Abdurrahman-Adve-Giri-Lowe-Zung.
