Unlike random constructions, which only prove that expanders exist with high probability, the Margulis construction uses group representations — specifically, the action of SLâ‚‚(ℤ) on finite quotients — to produce graphs with bounded degree and guaranteed expansion. The construction was revolutionary because it showed that expansion is not a prob...
