Názov prednášky: Origami expanders

Termín: 16.5.2025, 13:15 hod., M IX

Abstrakt:
We construct the first measure-preserving affine actions with spectral gap on surfaces of arbitrary genus g > 1. We achieve this by finding geometric representatives of multi-twists on origami surfaces. As a major application, we construct new expanders that are coarsely distinct from the classical expanders obtained via the Laplacian as Cayley graphs of finite quotients of a group. Our methods also show that the Margulis expander, and hence the Gabber-Galil expander, is coarsely distinct from the Selberg expander. A joint work with Dawid Kielak (Oxford), Tim de Laat (Kiel), Damian Sawicki (Leuven).
