We adapt modulus of continuity estimates to the study of spectra of combinatorial graph Laplacians, as well as the Dirichlet spectra of certain weighted Laplacians. The latter case is equivalent to stoquastic Hamiltonians and is of current…

We show a connection between the $CDE'$ inequality and the $CD\psi$ inequality. In particular, we introduce a $CD_\psi^\varphi$ inequality as a slight generalization of $CD\psi$ which turns out to be equivalent to $CDE'$ with appropriate…
In this article we derive an explicit diameter bound for graphs satisfying the so-called curvature dimension conditions $CD(K,n)$. This refines a recent result due to Liu, M\"unch and Peyerimhoff when the dimension $n$ is finite.
We study Laplacians associated to a graph and single out a class of such operators with special regularity properties. In the case of locally finite graphs, this class consists of all selfadjoint, non-negative restrictions of the standard…
It is now well known that ultracontractive properties of semigroups with infinitesimal generator given by an undirected graph Laplacian operator can be obtained through an understanding of the geometry of the underlying infinite weighted…
Results regarding off-diagonal Gaussian upper heat kernel bounds on discrete weighted graphs with possibly unbounded geometry are summarized and related. After reviewing uniform upper heat kernel bounds obtained by Carlen, Kusuoka, and…
We prove a variant of the Davies-Gaffney-Grigor'yan Lemma for the continuous time heat kernel on graphs. We use it together with the Li-Yau inequality to obtain strong heat kernel estimates for graphs satisfying the exponential curvature…
We consider a notion of conservation for the heat semigroup associated to a generalized Dirac Laplacian acting on sections of a vector bundle over a noncompact manifold with a (possibly noncompact) boundary under mixed boundary conditions.…
Using the curvature-dimension inequality proved in Part~I, we look at consequences of this inequality in terms of the interaction between the sub-Riemannian geometry and the heat semigroup $P_t$ corresponding to the sub-Laplacian. We give…
We study the physical Laplacian and the corresponding heat flow on an infinite, locally finite graph with possibly unbounded valence.
In this paper, we define the curvature dimension inequalities CD(m, K) on finite directed graphs modifying the case of undirected graphs. As a main result, we evaluate m and K on finite directed graphs.
We study the symmetry properties of the spectra of normalized Laplacians on signed graphs. We find a new machinery that generates symmetric spectra for signed graphs, which includes bipartiteness of unsigned graphs as a special case.…
We consider Laplace operators on metric graphs, networks of one-dimensional line segments (bonds), with matching conditions at the vertices that make the operator self-adjoint. Such quantum graphs provide a simple model of quantum mechanics…
In this paper, we classify unweighted graphs satisfying the curvature dimension condition CD(0,\infty) whose girth are at least five.
We study regular coverings of graphs and manifolds with a focus on properties of the heat equation. In particular, we look at stochastic incompleteness, the Feller property and uniform transience; and investigate the connection between the…
We study the connections between volume growth, spectral properties and stochastic completeness of locally finite graphs. For a class of graphs with a very weak spherical symmetry we give a condition which implies both stochastic…
