Local spectral expansion approach to high dimensional expanders

Combinatorics 2015-03-26 v4

Abstract

This paper introduces the notion of local spectral expansion of a simplicial complex as a possible analogue of spectral expansion defined for graphs. We show the condition of local spectral expansion has several nice implications. For example, for a simplicial complex with local spectral expansion we show vanishing of cohomology with real coefficients, Cheeger type inequalities and mixing type results and geometric overlap results.
