combinatorics / High-dimensional expanders: coboundary expansion

Existence of bounded-degree F2 coboundary expanders in every dimension

Theorem 1.1: for every d≥3d\ge3 there are DD, ε>0\varepsilon>0 and finite connected pure dd-dimensional complexes XmX_m with ∣Xm(0)∣→∞|X_m(0)|\to\infty, every vertex in at most DD top faces, and ∥δif∥≥ε dist(f,Bi)\|\delta_if\|\ge\varepsilon\,\mathrm{dist}(f,B^i) for all i<di<d. The complexes are dd-skeleta of congruence quotients modulo tmt^m of a coset complex for the Iwahori-type subgroup of SL2d+1(k[t])\mathrm{SL}_{2d+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 dd and are not explicit; only F2\mathbb{F}_2 coefficients are treated.

Theorem 1.1: for every d≥3d\ge3 there are DD, ε>0\varepsilon>0 and finite connected pure dd-dimensional complexes XmX_m with ∣Xm(0)∣→∞|X_m(0)|\to\infty, every vertex in at most DD top faces, and ∥δif∥≥ε dist(f,Bi)\|\delta_if\|\ge\varepsilon\,\mathrm{dist}(f,B^i) for all i<di<d. The complexes are dd-skeleta of congruence quotients modulo tmt^m of a coset complex for the Iwahori-type subgroup of SL2d+1(k[t])\mathrm{SL}_{2d+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 dd and are not explicit; only F2\mathbb{F}_2 coefficients are treated.
