Abstract
Let $M$M be a closed Riemannian manifold with Kazhdan fundamental group. It is well known that the Buser-Cheeger inequality yields a uniform waist inequality in codimension 1 for the finite covers of $M$M , which is basically another way of saying that the finite covers form an expander family. We show that the finite covers of $M$M also satisfy a uniform waist inequality in codimension 2.
