We study a system of equations on a compact complex manifold, that couples the scalar curvature of a Kaehler metric with a spectral function of a first-order deformation of the complex structure. The system comes from an…
We present a new notion of limits of weighted directed graphs of growing size based on convergence of their random quotients. These limits are specified in terms of random exchangeable measures on the unit square. We call our limits…
We develop the theory of torsional rigidity -- a quantity routinely considered for Dirichlet Laplacians on bounded planar domains -- for Laplacians on metric graphs with at least one Dirichlet vertex. Using a variational characterization…
We study the Ollivier-Ricci curvature of graphs as a function of the chosen idleness. We show that this idleness function is concave and piecewise linear with at most $3$ linear parts, with at most $2$ linear parts in the case of a regular…
We consider graphs Sigma^n in R^m with prescribed mean curvature and flat normal bundle. Using techniques of Schoen, Simon and Yau, and Ecker-Huisken, we derive an interior curvature estimate of the form |A|^2<=C/R^2 up to dimension n<=5,…
We show that an enlargeable Riemannian metric on a (possibly nonspin) manifold cannot have uniformly positive scalar curvature. This extends a well-known result of Gromov and Lawson to the nonspin setting. We also prove that every…
In this paper, we prove that the total expected curvature for random spatial equilateral quadrilaterals with diameter at most $r$ decreases as $r$ increases. To do so, we prove several curvature monotonicity inequalities and stochastic…
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain with convex boundary in a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive constant. We prove a lower bound of the first eigenvalue of the weighted…
If a graph submanifold $(x,f(x))$ of a Riemannian warped product space $(M^m\times_{e^{\psi}}N^n,\tilde{g}=g+e^{2\psi}h)$ is immersed with parallel mean curvature $H$, then we obtain a Heinz type estimation of the mean curvature. Namely, on…
We establish a Harnack inequality for finite connected graphs with non-negative Ricci curvature. As a consequence, we derive an eigenvalue lower bound, extending previous results for Ricci flat graphs.
In recent years extensions of manifold Ricci curvature to discrete combinatorial objects such as graphs and hypergraphs (popularly called as "network shapes"), have found a plethora of applications in a wide spectrum of research areas…
Comparison geometry for Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature has been extensively developed by Wei-Wylie and others. Motivated by the weighted sectional curvature framework introduced by Wylie and further developed by Kennard-Wylie-Yeroshkin, we…
In this paper, we explore the relationship between one of the most elementary and important properties of graphs, the presence and relative frequency of triangles, and a combinatorial notion of Ricci curvature. We employ a definition of…
We study graph products of groups from the viewpoint of measured group theory. We first establish a full measure equivalence classification of graph products of countably infinite groups over finite simple graphs with no transvection and no…
In recent years, discrete spaces such as graphs attract much attention as models for physical spacetime or as models for testing the spirit of non-commutative geometry. In this work, we construct the differential algebras for graphs by…
Based on matrix perturbation theory, closed-form analytic expansions are studied for a Laplacian eigenvalue of an undirected, possibly weighted graph, which is close to a unique degree in that graph. An approximation is presented to provide…
Quantum states of spin systems that can be represented with weighted graphs $G(V, E)$ are studied. The geometrical characteristics of these states are examined. We find that the velocity of quantum evolution is determined by the sum of the…

Networks are often studied using the eigenvalues of their adjacency matrix, a powerful mathematical tool with a wide range of applications. Since in real systems the exact graph structure is not known, researchers resort to random graphs to…
This paper deals with the concept of curvature of framed space curves, their higher-order derivatives, variations, and co-rotational derivatives. We realize that parametrizing rotation tensor using the Gibbs vector is effective in deriving…
