Finite quotients of Bruhat-Tits buildings as geometric expanders

Combinatorics 2016-05-03 v2

Abstract

In \cite{FGLNP}, Fox, Gromov, Lafforgue, Naor and Pach, in a respond to a question of Gromov \cite{G}, constructed bounded degree geometric expanders, namely, simplical complexes having the affine overlapping property. Their explicit constructions are finite quotients of Ad~\tilde{A_d}-buildings, for d2d\geq 2, over local fields. In this paper, this result is extended to general high rank Bruhat-Tits buildings.
