Based on earlier work by Carlen-Maas and the second- and third-named author, we introduce the notion of intertwining curvature lower bounds for graphs and quantum Markov semigroups. This curvature notion is stronger than both Bakry-\'Emery…

The Cheeger constant, $h_G$, is a measure of expansion within a graph. The classical Cheeger Inequality states: $\lambda_{1}/2 \le h_G \le \sqrt{2 \lambda_{1}}$ where $\lambda_1$ is the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the normalized…

We introduce the notion of bipartiteness ratio for graphons. We prove the dual Cheeger-Buser inequality for graphons, which relates the gap between $2$ and the top of the spectrum of the Laplacian of a graphon with its bipartiteness ratio.…

We give a brief literature review of the isoperimetric problem and discuss its relationship with the Cheeger constant of Riemannian $n$-manifolds. For some non-compact, finite area 2-manifolds, we prove the existence and regularity of…

We prove that for combinatorial graphs with non-negative Ollivier curvature, one has \[ \|P_t \mu - P_t \nu\|_1 \leq \frac{W_1(\mu,\nu)}{\sqrt{t}} \] for all probability measures $\mu,\nu$ where $P_t$ is the heat semigroup and $W_1$ is the…

The curve graphs are not locally finite. In this paper, we show that the curve graphs satisfy a property which is equivalent to graphs being uniformly locally finite via Masur--Minsky's subsurface projections. As a direct application of…

Cheeger's inequality states that a tightly connected subset can be extracted from a graph $G$ using an eigenvector of the normalized Laplacian associated with $G$. More specifically, we can compute a subset with conductance…

Let $ M^n$ be a closed immersed minimal hypersurface in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$. We establish a special isoperimetric inequality of $M^n$. As an application, if the scalar curvature of $ M^n$ is constant, then we get a uniform…

Houdr\'e and Tetali defined a class of isoperimetric constants $\varphi_p$ of graphs for $0 \leq p \leq 1$, and conjectured a Cheeger-type inequality for $\varphi_\frac12$ of the form $$\lambda_2 \lesssim \varphi_\frac12 \lesssim…

We prove the existence of positive lower bounds on the Cheeger constants of manifolds of the form $X/\Gamma$ where $X$ is a contractible Riemannian manifold and $\Gamma<\Isom(X)$ is a discrete subgroup, typically with infinite co-volume.…

In this article we study the top of the spectrum of the normalized Laplace operator on infinite graphs. We introduce the dual Cheeger constant and show that it controls the top of the spectrum from above and below in a similar way as the…

We prove structure theorems for complete manifolds satisfying both the Ricci curvature lower bound and the weighted Poincar\'e inequality. In the process, a sharp decay estimate for the minimal positive Green's function is obtained. This…

Ricci curvature was proposed by Ollivier in a general framework of metric measure spaces, and it has been studied extensively in the context of graphs in recent years. In this paper we prove upper bounds for Ollivier's Ricci curvature for…

We use two variational techniques to prove upper bounds for sums of the lowest several eigenvalues of matrices associated with finite, simple, combinatorial graphs. These include estimates for the adjacency matrix of a graph and for both…
