Abstract

An rr-dimensional wheel is defined as the join of an (r2)(r-2)-simplex and a cycle. In this paper, we study the maximum signless Laplacian spectral radius of nn-vertex rr-dimensional pure simplicial complexes that contain no rr-dimensional wheels. For sufficiently large nn, we determine the extremal complexes that attain this maximum. Our result generalizes the corresponding extremal results of signless Laplacian on graphs and provides a spectral anlogue of a theorem of S\'os, Erd\H{o}s and Brown on the maximum number of facets of simplicial complexes in the case r=2r=2.
