Abstract

Let G=(V,E)G=(V,E) be a possibly infinite, locally finite graph with non-negative Ollivier--Ricci curvature and degrees bounded by d<d<\infty. We prove that there exists a constant CdC_d such that the continuous-time random walk displacement and log-volume growth satisfy Exdist(x,Xt)2texp[Cdlogtloglogt], \mathbb{E}_x \mathrm{dist}(x,X_t)^2 \le t \exp\left[C_d \sqrt{\log t \log\log t}\right], logVol(B(x,r))exp[Cdlogrloglogr], \log \mathrm{Vol}(B(x,r)) \le \exp\left[C_d \sqrt{\log r \log\log r}\right], for every xVx\in V and all r,teer,t \ge e^e.
