We show that asymptotically the first Betti number, or the arithmetic genus, of a Shimura curve satisfies the Gauss--Bonnet equality. We also show that the first Betti number of a congruence hyperbolic 3--orbifold asymptotically vanishes…
We express the discrete Ricci curvature of a graph as the minimal eigenvalue of a family of matrices, one for each vertex of a graph whose entries depend on the local adjaciency structure of the graph. Using this method we compute or bound…
We focus in this paper on edge ideals associated to bipartite graphs and give a combinatorial characterization of those having regularity 3. When the regularity is strictly bigger than 3, we determine the first step $i$ in the minimal…
In this paper we consider global $\theta$-curvatures of finite Markov chains with associated means $\theta$ in the spirit of the entropic curvature (based on the logarithmic mean) by Erbar-Maas and Mielke. As in the case of Bakry-\'Emery…
We study the volume growth of metric balls as a function of the radius in discrete spaces, and focus on the relationship between volume growth and discrete curvature. We improve volume growth bounds under a lower bound on the so-called…
Fr\"oberg's classical theorem about edge ideals with $2$-linear resolution can be regarded as a classification of graphs whose edge ideals have linearity defect zero. Extending his theorem, we classify all graphs whose edge ideals have…
We establish a lower bound for the cop number of graphs of high girth in terms of the minimum degree, and more generally, in terms of a certain growth condition. We show, in particular, that the cop number of any graph with girth $g$ and…
We produce open subsets of the moduli space of metric graphs without separating edges where the dimensions of Brill-Noether loci are larger than the corresponding Brill-Noether numbers. These graphs also have minimal rank determining sets…
Given a set D of nonnegative integers, we derive the asymptotic number of graphs with a givenvnumber of vertices, edges, and such that the degree of every vertex is in D. This generalizes existing results, such as the enumeration of graphs…
We study the long scale Ollivier-Ricci curvature of graphs as a function of the chosen idleness. As in the previous work on the short scale, we show that this idleness function is concave and piecewise linear with at most $3$ linear parts.…
In this paper, we study curvature dimension conditions on birth-death processes which correspond to linear graphs, i.e., weighted graphs supported on the infinite line or the half line. We give a combinatorial characterization of Bakry and…
In this paper, we formalize the notion of lambda-AT-model (where $\lambda$ is a non-null integer) for a given chain complex, which allows the computation of homological information in the integer domain avoiding using the Smith Normal Form…
We study the eigenvalues of the connection Laplacian on a graph with an orthogonal group or unitary group signature. We establish higher order Buser type inequalities, i.e., we provide upper bounds for eigenvalues in terms of Cheeger…
In this paper we describe a singly exponential algorithm for computing the first Betti number of a given semi-algebraic set. Singly exponential algorithms for computing the zero-th Betti number, and the Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic, were…
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…
The question of whether a closed, orientable manifold can admit a nontrivial vector field that is parallel with respect to some Riemannian metric is a classical problem in Differential Geometry, first posed by S. S. Chern [11]. In this…
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…
In a previous paper, we constructed complete manifolds of positive Ricci curvature with quadratically asymptotically nonnegative curvature and infinite topological type but dimension $\ge 6$. The purpose of the present paper is to use a…
We extend known results on chordal graphs and distance-hereditary graphs to much larger graph classes by using only a common metric property of these graphs. Specifically, a graph is called $\alpha_i$-metric ($i\in \mathcal{N}$) if it…
We introduce the notion of integral Ricci curvature $I_{\kappa_0}$ for graphs, which measures the amount of Ricci curvature below a given threshold $\kappa_0$. We focus our attention on the Lin-Lu-Yau Ricci curvature. As applications, we…
