Expanders are order diameter non-hyperbolic

Combinatorics 2015-02-26 v2 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We show that expander graphs must have Gromov-hyperbolicity at least proportional to their diameter, with a constant of proportionality depending only on the expansion constant and maximal degree. In other words, expanders contain geodesic triangles which are Ω(diamΓ)\Omega(\mathop{\rm diam} \Gamma)-thick.
