We study graphs with nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery curvature or Ollivier curvature outside a finite subset. For such a graph, via introducing the discrete Gromov-Hausdorff convergence we prove that the space of bounded harmonic functions is…

This paper shows certain classes of metric spaces characterized by volume growth properties of balls can viewed as graphs with infinitesimal edges. Our approach is based on nonstandard analysis.
We show that Golod-Shafarevich algebras can be homomorphically mapped onto infinite-dimensional algebras with polynomial growth, under mild assumptions of the number of relations of given degrees. In case these algebras are finitely…
We develop a probabilistic framework for large-scale dimension bounds in metric geometry, based on padded decompositions, randomized ball carving on net graphs, and the Lov\'asz Local Lemma. For metric measure spaces with volume doubling…
In this paper we consider nonnegatively curved finite dimensional Alexandrov spaces with a non-collapsing condition, i.e., such that unit balls have volumes uniformly bounded from below away from zero. We study the relation between the…
In this paper we discuss an extension of Perelman's comparison for quadrangles. Among applications of this new comparison theorem, we study the equidistance evolution of hypersurfaces in Alexandrov spaces with non-negative curvature. We…
We consider complete asymptotically flat Riemannian manifolds that are the graphs of smooth functions over $\mathbb R^n$. By recognizing the scalar curvature of such manifolds as a divergence, we express the ADM mass as an integral of the…
Let $(X,d)$ be an $n$-dimensional Alexandrov space whose Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^n$ satisfies a condition giving the metric measure space $(X,d,\mathcal{H}^n)$ a notion of having nonnegative Ricci curvature. We examine the influence…
We prove that a proper geodesic metric space has non-positive curvature in the sense of Alexandrov if and only if it satisfies the Euclidean isoperimetric inequality for curves. Our result extends to non-geodesic spaces and non-zero…
Let $G$ be a graph which satisfies $c^{-1} a^r \le |B(v,r)| \le c a^r$, for some constants $c,a>1$, every vertex $v$ and every radius $r$. We prove that this implies the isoperimetric inequality $|\partial A| \ge C |A| / \log(2+ |A|)$ for…
We investigate harmonic maps from weighted graphs into metric spaces that locally admit unique centers of gravity, like Alexandrov spaces with upper curvature bounds. We prove an existence result by constructing an iterative geometric…
Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro proved existence of finite volume non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds of any given dimension. In dimension four and higher, we show that there are about v^v such manifolds of volume at most v, considered up to…
We develop an Aleksandrov reflection framework for a large class of expanding curvature flows in hyperbolic space, with inverse mean curvature flow serving as a model case. The method applies to the level-set formulation of the flow. As a…
