Abstract
We define -dimensional digraphs and initiate a study of their spectral theory. The -dimensional digraphs can be viewed as generating graphs for small categories called -graphs. Guided by geometric insight, we obtain several new series of -graphs using cube complexes covered by Cartesian products of trees, for . These -graphs can not be presented as virtual products and constitute novel models of such small categories. The constructions yield rank- Cuntz–Krieger algebras for all . We introduce Ramanujan -graphs satisfying optimal spectral gap property and show explicitly how to construct the underlying -digraphs.
