Consider the graph Γ obtained by taking as vertices the flags in a finite building of spherical type defined over Fq, where two flags are adjacent when they are opposite. We show that the squares of the eigenvalues of Γ are powers of q.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
