Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Constructions of Expanders Using Group Theory

I will survey some constructions of expander graphs using variants of Kazhdan property T . First, I describe an approach to property T using bounded generation and then I will describe a recent method based on the geometric properties of configurations of subspaces in a finite dimensional Euclidean space.
