In contrast to graph-based models for complex networks, hypergraphs are more general structures going beyond binary relations of graphs. For graphs, statistics gauging different aspects of their structures have been devised and there is…

We use the framework used by Bakry and Emery in their work on logarithmic Sobolev inequalities to define a notion of coarse Ricci curvature on smooth metric measure spaces alternative to the notion proposed by Y. Ollivier. This function can…

Forman-Ricci curvature (FRC) is a potent and powerful tool for analysing empirical networks, as the distribution of the curvature values can identify structural information that is not readily detected by other geometrical methods.…

In this paper, we study the structure of the pointed-Gromov-Hausdorff limits of sequences of Ricci shrinkers. We define a regular-singular decomposition following the work of Cheeger-Colding for manifolds with a uniform Ricci curvature…

Riemannian geometry is a particular case of Hamiltonian mechanics: the orbits of the hamiltonian $H=\frac{1}{2}g^{ij}p_{i}p_{j}$ are the geodesics. Given a symplectic manifold (\Gamma,\omega), a hamiltonian $H:\Gamma\to\mathbb{R}$ and a…

Our work is concerned with simplicial complexes that describe higher-order interactions in real complex systems. This description allows to go beyond the pairwise node-to-node representation that simple networks provide and to capture a…
