dc.descriptionWe show how the evolving set methodology of Morris and Peres can be used to show Cheeger inequalities for bounding the spectral gap of a finite Markov kernel. This leads to sharp versions of several previous Cheeger inequalities, including ones involving edge-expansion, vertex-expansion, and mixtures of both. A bound on the smallest eigenvalue also follows.
