Abstract

We construct explicitly an infinite family of Ramanujan graphs which are bipartite and biregular. Our construction starts with the Bruhat–Tits building of an inner form of \(\mathrm{SU}_{3}(\mathbb{Q}_{p})\). To make the graphs finite, we take successive quotients by infinitely many discrete co-compact subgroups of decreasing size.
