Spectrum of weighted adjacency operator on a non-uniform arithmetic quotient of PGL₃

Abstract: We investigate the automorphic spectra of the natural weighted adjacency operator on the complex arising as a

P G L (3, m a t h b b F_{q} [t])

quotient of

w i d e t i l d e A_{2}

-type building. We prove that the set of non-trivial approximate eigenvalues

(l a m b d a^{+}, l a m b d a^{-})

of the weighted adjacency operators

A_{w}^{p} m

on the quotient induced from the colored adjacency operators

A^{p} m

on the building for

P G L_{3}

contains the simultaneous spectrum of

A^{p} m

and another hypocycloid with three cusps. As a byproduct, we re-establish a proof of the fact that

is not a Ramanujan complex, from a combinatorial aspect.
