Abstract: Let $T$ be a finite tree graph, $T^N$ be the Cartesian power graph of $T$, and $d^N$ be the graph distance metric on $T^N$. Also let [ mathbb S_r^N(x) := {v in T^N: d^N(x,v) = r} ] be the sphere of radius $r$ centered at $x$ and $M$ be the spherical maximal averaging operator on $T^N$ given by [ Mf(x) := sup_{substack{r geq 0 \ mathbb S_r^N(x) eq emptyset}} frac{1}{|mathbb S_r^N(x)|} |sum_{mathbb S_r^N(x)} f(y)|. ] We will show that for any fixed $1leqpleqinfty$, the $L^p$ operator norm of $M$, i.e. [ |M|_p := sup_{|f|_p = 1} |Mf|_p, ] grows exponentially in the dimension $N$. In particular, if $r$ is the probability that a random vertex of $T$ is a leaf, then $|M{|}_{p}geq{r}^{-N/p}$, although this is not a sharp bound. This exponential growth phenomenon extends to a class of graphs strictly larger than trees, which we will call emph{global antipode graphs}. This growth result stands in contrast to the work of Greenblatt, Harrow, Kolla, Krause, and Schulman that proved that the spherical maximal $L^p$ bounds (for $p>1$) are dimension-independent for finite cliques.
