Does there exist a sequence of free subgroups $F_k$ of the isometry group of hyperbolic $n$-space such that the Cheeger constant of the quotient space $H^n/F_k$ tends to zero as $k$ tends to infinity? I will explain how to answer this (and related questions) when $n$ is even using a curious result of $G$.
