Discrete Ricci curvature bounds for Bernoulli-Laplace and random transposition models

Probability 2014-10-01 v1

Abstract

We calculate a Ricci curvature lower bound for some classical examples of random walks, namely, a chain on a slice of the n-dimensional discrete cube (the so-called Bernoulli-Laplace model) and the random transposition shuffle of the symmetric group of permutations on n letters.
