Abstract: We prove a strengthening of the trickle down theorem for partite complexes. Given a $(d+1)$-partite $d$-dimensional simplicial complex, we show that if "on average" the links of faces of co-dimension 2 are $frac1-deltad$-(one-sided) spectral expanders, then the link of any face of co-dimension $k$ is an $O(frac1-deltakdelta)$-(one-sided) spectral expander, for all $3leqkleqd+1$. For an application, using our theorem as a black-box, we show that links of faces of co-dimension $k$ in recent constructions of bounded degree high dimensional expanders have spectral expansion at most $O(1/k)$ fraction of the spectral expansion of the links of the worst faces of co-dimension $2$.
