This article introduces a new approach to discrete curvature based on the concept of effective resistances. We propose a curvature on the nodes and links of a graph and present the evidence for their interpretation as a curvature. Notably,…

We introduce a novel definition of curvature for hypergraphs, a natural generalization of graphs, by introducing a multi-marginal optimal transport problem for a naturally defined random walk on the hypergraph. This curvature, termed…

We introduce the annex of an element $x$ in a Coxeter group as the set of elements $y$ such that $x \nleq y$ with respect to Bruhat order. This notion provides a complementary perspective to the study of Bruhat intervals and their…

Ricci curvature and its associated flow offer powerful geometric methods for analyzing complex networks. While existing research heavily focuses on applications for undirected graphs such as community detection and core extraction, there…

We study divergence and thickness for general Coxeter groups $W$. We first characterise linear divergence, and show that if $W$ has superlinear divergence then its divergence is at least quadratic. We then formulate a computable…

In this paper, we consider the automorphism groups of the Cayley graph with respect to the Coxeter generators and the Davis complex of an arbitrary Coxeter group. We determine for which Coxeter groups these automorphism groups are discrete.…

Graph Ricci curvature is crucial as it geometrically quantifies network structure. It pinpoints bottlenecks via negative curvature, identifies cohesive communities with positive curvature, and highlights robust hubs. This guides network…

Curvature is a fundamental geometric characteristic of smooth spaces. In recent years different notions of curvature have been developed for combinatorial discrete objects such as graphs. However, the connections between such discrete…

We study the interplay between the discrete geometry of Bruhat poset intervals and subword complexes of finite Coxeter systems. We establish connections between the cones generated by cover labels for Bruhat intervals and of root…

We establish for the first time the explicit curvature formulas for the horizontal and vertical edges of the strong product of two regular graphs. We complement this result with showing that there does not exist an analogous formula for the…

Lin, Lu, and Yau formulated the Ricci curvature of edges in simple undirected graphs[2]. Using their formulations, we calculate the Ricci curvatures of Cayley graphs for the dihedral groups, the general quaternion groups, and cyclic groups…

We introduce the notion of graphical discreteness to group theory. A finitely generated group is graphically discrete if whenever it acts geometrically on a locally finite graph, the automorphism group of the graph is compact-by-discrete.…
