Nearly optimal spectral gaps for random Belyi surfaces

Abstract

In this paper, we show that a random hyperbolic surface in the Brooks-Makover model has a spectral gap greater than (14(1n)1221)\left(\frac{1}{4}-\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)^{\frac{1}{221}}\right), confirming the nearly optimal spectral gap conjecture in this model.

46 pages, 9 figures, extend $\epsilon$ to $\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)^{\frac{1}{221}}\right)$ and provide certain new Ramanujan surfaces
