Overlap properties of geometric expanders
The overlap number of a finite (d + 1)-uniform hypergraph H is the largest constant c(H) (0, 1] such that no matter how we map the vertices of H into Rd , there is a point covered by at least a c(H)-fraction of the simplices induced by the images of its hyperedges. In [17], motivated by the search for an analogue of the notion of graph expansion for higher dimensional simplicial complexes, it was asked whether or not there exists a sequence {Hn} n=1 of arbitrarily large (d+1)-uniform hypergraphs with bounded degree, for which infn 1 c(Hn) > 0. Using both random methods and explicit constructions, we answer this question positively by constructing infinite families of (d+1)-uniform hypergraphs with bounded degree such that their overlap numbers are bounded from below by a positive constant c = c(d). We also show that, for every d, the best value of the constant c = c(d) that can be achieved by such a construction is asymptotically equal to the limit of the overlap numbers of the com...
