Popis: We present a construction of expander graphs obtained from Cayley graphs of narrow ray class groups, whose eigenvalue bounds follow from the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Our result implies that the Cayley graph of (Z/qZ)* with respect to small prime generators is an expander. As another application, we show that the graph of small prime degree isogenies between ordinary elliptic curves achieves non-negligible eigenvalue separation, and explain the relationship between the expansion properties of these graphs and the security of the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem.
