Then for every equivariant map F: X →ℤ/2 ℝd, the fraction of d-simplices σ of X with 0 ∈ F (σ) is at least 2−d Π d−1k=0ηk.\r\n\r\nAs an application, we show that for every sufficiently thick d-dimensional spherical building Y and every map f: Y → ℝ2d, we have f(σ) ∩ f(τ) ≠ ∅ for a constant fraction μd > 0 of pairs {σ, τ} of d-simplices of Y. In particular, such complexes are non-embeddable into ℝ2d, which proves a conjecture of Tancer and Vorwerk for sufficiently thick spherical buildings.\r\n\r\nWe complement these results by upper bounds on the coboundary expansion of two families of simplicial complexes; this indicates some limitations to the bounds one can obtain by straighforward applications of the quantitative Borsuk–Ulam theorem. Specifically, we prove\r\n\r\n• an upper bound of (d + 1)/2d on the normalized (d − 1)-th coboundary expansion constant of complete (d + 1)-partite d-dimensional complexes (under a mild divisibility assumption on the sizes of the parts); and\r\n\r\n• an upper bound of (d + 1)/2d + ε on the normalized (d − 1)-th coboundary expansion of the d-dimensional spherical building associated with GLd+2(Fq) for any ε > 0 and sufficiently large q. This disproves, in a rather strong sense, a conjecture of Lubotzky, Meshulam and Mozes.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2023-09-01T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","issue":"2","month":"09","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"date_updated":"2023-12-13T13:09:07Z","file":[{"checksum":"fbb05619fe4b650f341cc730425dd9c3","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","file_name":"2023_IsraelJourMath_Wagner.pdf","date_updated":"2023-10-31T11:20:31Z","success":1,"file_id":"14475","date_created":"2023-10-31T11:20:31Z","file_size":623787}],"type":"journal_article","day":"01","title":"Coboundary expansion, equivariant overlap, and crossing numbers of simplicial complexes","quality_controlled":"1","status":"public","publisher":"Springer Nature","scopus_import":"1","oa":1,"oa_version":"Published Version","date_created":"2023-10-22T22:01:14Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}
