The first non-zero Laplacian eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of a finite graph is bounded below by its minimum Lin--Lu--Yau curvature $\kappa$. This is a discrete analogue of the classical Lichnerowicz Theorem. A graph with $\lambda_1=\kappa$ is…

If a real harmonic function inside the open unit disk $B(0,1) \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ has its level set $\left\{x: u(x) = u(0)\right\}$ diffeomorphic to an interval, then we prove the sharp bound $\kappa \leq 8$ on the curvature of the level…
