Abstract

In [5], Fox, Gromov, Lafforgue, Naor and Pach, in a response to a question of Gromov [7], constructed bounded degree geometric expanders, namely, simplical complexes having the affine overlapping property. Their explicit constructions are finite quotients of A d-buildings, for d ≥ 2, over local fields. In this paper, this result is extended to general high rank Bruhat-Tits buildings.
