Abstract: Answering a question of Jiang and Polyanskii as well as Jiang, Tidor, Yao, Zhang, and Zhao, we show the existence of infinitely many angles $heta$ for which the maximum number of lines in $mathbb{R}^n$ meeting at the origin with pairwise angles $heta$ exceeds $n+Omega(loglogn)$ but is at most $n+o(n)$. To accomplish this, we construct, for various real $lambda$ and integer $d$, $d$-regular graphs with second eigenvalue exactly $lambda$ and arbitrarily large second eigenvalue multiplicity. Central to our construction is a distribution on factors of bipartite graphs which possesses concentration properties.
