If $X$ is a geodesic metric space and $x_1,x_2,x_3\in X$, a geodesic triangle $T=\{x_1,x_2,x_3\}$ is the union of the three geodesics $[x_1x_2]$, $[x_2x_3]$ and $[x_3x_1]$ in $X$. The space $X$ is $\delta$-hyperbolic (in the Gromov sense)…

$\delta$-hyperbolic graphs, originally conceived by Gromov in 1987, occur often in many network applications; for fixed $\delta$, such graphs are simply called hyperbolic graphs and include non-trivial interesting classes of "non-expander"…

In this paper we prove that random $d$--regular graphs with $d\geq 3$ have traffic congestion of the order $O(n\log_{d-1}^{3}(n))$ where $n$ is the number of nodes and geodesic routing is used. We also show that these graphs are not…

We investigate a coarse version of a $2(n+1)$-point inequality characterizing metric spaces of combinatorial dimension at most $n$ due to Dress. This condition, experimentally called $(n,\delta)$-hyperbolicity, reduces to Gromov's quadruple…

If $X$ is a geodesic metric space and $x_{1},x_{2},x_{3} \in X$, a geodesic triangle $T=\{x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}\}$ is the union of the three geodesics $[x_{1}x_{2}]$, $[x_{2}x_{3}]$ and $[x_{3}x_{1}]$ in $X$. The space $X$ is…

In this work we study the asymptotic traffic flow in Gromov's hyperbolic graphs when the traffic decays exponentially with the distance. We prove that under general conditions, there exists a phase transition between local and global…

If $X$ is a geodesic metric space and $x_1,x_2,x_3\in X$, a {\it geodesic triangle} $T=\{x_1,x_2,x_3\}$ is the union of the three geodesics $[x_1x_2]$, $[x_2x_3]$ and $[x_3x_1]$ in $X$. The space $X$ is $\delta$-\emph{hyperbolic} $($in the…

We generalize the notion of tight geodesics in the curve complex to tight trees. We then use tight trees to construct model geometries for certain surface bundles over graphs. This extends some aspects of the combinatorial model for doubly…

In this paper we study the Spanning Tree Congestion problem, where we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and are asked to find a spanning tree $T$ of minimum maximum congestion. Here, the congestion of an edge $e\in T$ is the number of edges…

We show that expander graphs must have Gromov-hyperbolicity at least proportional to their diameter, with a constant of proportionality depending only on the expansion constant and maximal degree. In other words, expanders contain geodesic…

A metric space $(X,d)$ is said to be $\delta$-hyperbolic if $d(x,y)+d(z,w)$ is at most $\max(d(x,z)+d(y,w), d(x,w)+d(y,z))$ by $2 \delta$. A geodesic space is $\delta$-slim if every geodesic triangle $\Delta(x,y,z)$ is $\delta$-slim. It is…

In this work we study the asymptotic traffic flow in Gromov's hyperbolic graphs. We prove that under certain mild hypotheses the traffic flow in a hyperbolic graph tends to pass through a finite set of highly congested nodes. These nodes…

This paper proposes a mathematical justification of the phenomenon of extreme congestion at a very limited number of nodes in very large networks. It is argued that this phenomenon occurs as a combination of the negative curvature property…

Hyperbolicity is a property of a graph that may be viewed as being a "soft" version of a tree, and recent empirical and theoretical work has suggested that many graphs arising in Internet and related data applications have hyperbolic…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph with the usual (graph) distance metric $d:V \times V \to N \cup \{0 \}$. Introduced by Gromov, $G$ is $\delta$-hyperbolic if for every four vertices $u,v,x,y \in V$, the two largest values of the three…

This paper addresses the problem of a boundary control design for traffic evolving in a large-scale urban network. The traffic state is described on a macroscopic scale and corresponds to the vehicle density, whose dynamics are governed by…

We give upper bounds, linear in rank, to the topological dimensions of the Gromov boundaries of the intersection graph, the free factor graph and the cyclic splitting graph of a finitely generated free group.

We present a careful approximation of the geodesics in trees of hyperbolic or relatively hyperbolic groups. As an application we prove a combination theorem for finite graphs of relatively hyperbolic groups, with both Farb's and Gromov's…

In this paper we construct spanning trees in hyperbolic graphs that represent their hyperbolic compactification in a good way: so that the tree has a bounded number of distinct rays to each boundary point. The bound depends only on the…

We define analogues of the graphs of free splittings, of cyclic splittings, and of maximally-cyclic splittings of $F_N$ for free products of groups, and show their hyperbolicity. Given a countable group $G$ which splits as…
