Dimension lower bound for an expander embedded in linfinity

If a fixed-degree expander on $n$ vertices embeds into ${\ell }_{\infty }^k$ with distortion $\alpha$, thenIndeed, ${\ell }_{\infty }^k\hookrightarrow {\ell }_p^k$ has distortion $k^{1/p}$, while $c_p(G)\gtrsim (\log n)/p$. Taking $p\asymp \log k$ gives $\log k\gtrsim (\log n)/\alpha$.
