Abstract of a paper by Manor Mendel and Assaf Naor
This is an announcement for the paper "Nonlinear spectral calculus and super-expanders" by Manor Mendel and Assaf Naor. Abstract: Nonlinear spectral gaps with respect to uniformly convex normed spaces are shown to satisfy a spectral calculus inequality that establishes their decay along Ces\`aro averages. Nonlinear spectral gaps of graphs are also shown to behave sub-multiplicatively under zigzag products. These results yield a combinatorial construction of super-expanders, i.e., a sequence of 3-regular graphs that does not admit a coarse embedding into any uniformly convex normed space.
