Abstract

In this paper we construct explicit LPS-type Ramanujan graphs from each definite quaternion algebra over Q\mathbb Q of class number 1, extending the constructions of Lubotzky, Phillips, Sarnak, and later Chiu, and answering in the affirmative a question raised by Jo and Yamasaki. We do this by showing that for each definite quaternion algebra H\mathcal H over Q\mathbb Q of class number 1 with maximal order O\mathcal O, if G=H×/Z(H×)G = \mathcal H^\times/Z(\mathcal H^\times) and pp is prime such that G(Qp)PGL2(Qp)G(\mathbb Q_p) \cong PGL_2(\mathbb Q_p), then there exists a congruence pp-arithmetic subgroup of GG which acts simply transitively on the Bruhat-Tits tree of G(Qp)G(\mathbb Q_p).
