The isoperimetric number of the incidence graph of \(\operatorname{PG}(n,q)\) (Q1658768)

Summary: Let \(\Gamma_{n,q}\) be the point-hyperplane incidence graph of the projective space \(\operatorname{PG}(n,q)\), where \(n \geq 2\) is an integer and \(q\) a prime power. We determine the order of magnitude of \(1-i_V(\Gamma_{n,q})\), where \(i_V(\Gamma_{n,q})\) is the vertex-isoperimetric number of \(\Gamma_{n,q}\). We also obtain the exact values of \(i_V(\Gamma_{2,q})\) and the related incidence-free number of \(\Gamma_{2,q}\) for \(q \leq 16\).
