We present an algorithm for the sparsest cut problem that simultaneously achieves the better approximation factor of SDP/multicommodity-flow based algorithms and the subquadratic running time of single-commodity flow based algorithms. The idea is that we can turn Arora, Rao, and Vazirani's matching-chaining argument into an algorithm for finding good augmenting paths in a multicommodity flow network. Our analysis follows ARV's, making essential use of measure concentration on the sphere.
