combinatorics / High-dimensional expanders: coboundary expansion
Existence of bounded-degree F2 coboundary expanders in every dimension
Theorem 1.1: for every d≥3 there are D, ε>0 and finite connected pure d-dimensional complexes Xm with ∣Xm(0)∣→∞, every vertex in at most D top faces, and ∥δif∥≥εdist(f,Bi) for all i<d. The complexes are d-skeleta of congruence quotients modulo tm of a coset complex for the Iwahori-type subgroup of SL2d+1(k[t]) over a large odd prime field; cohomology vanishing comes from an affine twin building, and quantitative expansion from Oppenheim-Valentiner-Branth. Constants depend on d and are not explicit; only F2 coefficients are treated.
