Abstract: In this note we show that the family of Cayley graphs of a finitely generated subgroup of ${mGL}_{n_0}(mathbb{F}_p(t))$ modulo some admissible square-free polynomials is a family of expanders under certain algebraic conditions. Here is a more precise formulation of our main result. For a positive integer $c_0$, we say a square-free polynomial is $c_0$-admissible if degree of irreducible factors of $f$ are distinct integers with prime factors at least $c_0$. Suppose $Omega$ is a finite symmetric subset of ${mGL}_{n_0}(mathbb{F}_p(t))$, where $p$ is a prime more than $5$. Let $Gamma$ be the group generated by $Omega$. Suppose the Zariski-closure of $Gamma$ is connected, simply-connected, and absolutely almost simple; further assume that the field generated by the traces of $mAd(Gamma)$ is $mathbb{F}_p(t)$. Then for some positive integer $c_0$ the family of Cayley graphs $mCay(p{i}_{f(x)}(Gamma),p{i}_{f(x)}(Omega))$ as $f$ ranges in the set of $c_0$-admissible polynomials is a family of expanders, where $p{i}_{f(t)}$ is the quotient map for the congruence modulo $f(t)$.
