Abstract: We prove that if an $n$-vertex $O(1)$-expander graph embeds with average distortion $D$ into a finite dimensional normed space $X$, then necessarily the dimension of $X$ is at least $n^{c/D}$ for some universal constant $c>0$. This is sharp up to the value of the constant $c$, and it improves over the previously best-known estimate $mathrm{dim}(X)> c(log n)^2/D^2$. |
