Couboundary Expansion of Sheaves on Graphs and Weighted Mixing Lemmas

We study the coboundary expansion of graphs, but instead of using $\mathbb{F}_2$ as the coefficient group when forming the cohomology, we use a sheaf on the graph. We prove that if the graph under discussion is a good expander, then it is also a good coboundary expander relative to any constant augmented sheaf (equivalently, relative to any coefficient group $R$); this, however, may fail for locally constant sheaves. We moreover show that if we take the quotient of a constant augmented sheaf on an excellent expander graph by a "small" subsheaf, then the quotient sheaf is still a good coboundary expander. Along the way, we prove a new version of the Expander Mixing Lemma applying to $r$-partite weighted graphs.Comment: Comments are welcom
