Abstract

We investigate the automorphic spectra of the natural weighted adjacency operator on the complex arising as a PGL(3,Fq[t])PGL(3,\mathbb{F}_q[t]) quotient of A~2\widetilde{A}_2-type building. We prove that the set of non-trivial approximate eigenvalues (λ+,λ)(\lambda^+,\lambda^-) of the weighted adjacency operators Aw±A_w^\pm on the quotient induced from the colored adjacency operators A±A^\pm on the building for PGL3PGL_3 contains the simultaneous spectrum of A±A^\pm and another hypocycloid with three cusps. As a byproduct, we re-establish a proof of the fact that PGL(3,Fq[t])\PGL(3,Fq( ⁣(t1) ⁣))/PGL(3,Fq[ ⁣[t1] ⁣])PGL(3,\mathbb{F}_q[t])\backslash PGL(3,\mathbb{F}_q(\!(t^{-1})\!))/PGL(3,\mathbb{F}_q[\![t^{-1}]\!]) is not a Ramanujan complex, from a combinatorial aspect.
