We develop a new and systematic method for proving entropic Ricci curvature lower bounds for Markov chains on discrete sets. Using different methods, such bounds have recently been obtained in several examples (e.g., 1-dimensional birth and…

We define the Ricci curvature on simplicial complexes by modifying the definition of the Ricci curvature on graphs, and we prove the upper and lower bounds of the Ricci curvature. These properties are generalizations of previous studies.…

We define the Ricci curvature of Markov chains on metric spaces as a local contraction coefficient of the random walk acting on the space of probability measures equipped with a Wasserstein transportation distance. For Brownian motion on a…

We elaborate the notion of a Ricci curvature lower bound for parametrized statistical models. Following the seminal ideas of Lott-Strum-Villani, we define this notion based on the geodesic convexity of the Kullback-Leibler divergence in a…

We study the relationship between discrete analogues of Ricci and scalar curvature that are defined for point clouds and graphs. In the discrete setting, Ricci curvature is replaced by Ollivier-Ricci curvature. Scalar curvature can be…

We investigate the prescribed Ricci curvature problem in the class of left-invariant naturally reductive Riemannian metrics on a non-compact simple Lie group. We obtain a number of conditions for the solvability of the underlying equations…

It is shown that the diameter of a compact shrinking Ricci soliton has a universal lower bound. This is proved by extending universal estimates for the first non-zero eigenvalue of Laplacian on compact Riemannian manifolds with lower Ricci…

In the present paper, we prove that a lower bound on the $1$-weighted Ricci curvature is equivalent to a convexity of entropies on the Wasserstein space. Based on such characterization, we provide some interpolation inequalities such as the…

We compute the Ricci curvature of a curved noncommutative three torus. The computation is done both for conformal and non-conformal perturbations of the flat metric. To perturb the flat metric, the standard volume form on the noncommutative…

In the present article, we provide a characterization of a lower $N$-weighted Ricci curvature bound for $N \in ]-\infty,1]\cup[n,+\infty]$ with $\varepsilon$-range introduced by Lu-Minguzzi-Ohta in terms of a convexity of entropies over…

Expository observation on the $\mu$-invariant of singularity models for Ricci Flow.

Consider the extreme value of a Bernoulli random walk on the one-dimensional integer lattice, with reflection at 0, over a finite discrete time interval. Only the asymmetric (biased) case is discussed. Asymptotic mean/variance results are…

When the Ricci curvature of a Riemannian manifold is not lower bounded by a constant, but lower bounded by a continuous function, we give a new characterization of this lower bound through the convexity of relative entropy on the…

In this very short note we prove a lower bound for the scalar curvature of certain steady gradient Ricci solitons.

We compare two approaches to Ricci curvature on non-smooth spaces, in the case of the discrete hypercube $\{0,1\}^N$. While the coarse Ricci curvature of the first author readily yields a positive value for curvature, the displacement…

This paper is a survey on the structure of manifolds with a lower Ricci curvature bound.

Until recently, Ricci flow was viewed almost exclusively as a way of deforming Riemannian metrics of bounded curvature. Unfortunately, the bounded curvature hypothesis is unnatural for many applications, but is hard to drop because so many…

We prove a moderate deviation principle for subgraph count statistics of Erdos-Renyi random graphs. This is equivalent in showing a moderate deviation principle for the trace of a power of a Bernoulli random matrix. It is done via an…

We study a large class of long-range random walks which take values on the vertices of an N dimensional hypercube. These processes are connected with multivariate Bernoulli autoregression.

We study Bernoulli percolations on random lattices of the half-plane obtained as local limit of uniform planar triangulations or quadrangulations. Using the characteristic spatial Markov property or peeling process of these random lattices…
