We compute Aut(W) for any even Coxeter group whose Coxeter diagram is connected, contains no edges labeled 2, and cannot be separated into more than 2 connected components by removing a single vertex. The description is given explicitly in…

We develop a general framework on Dirichlet spaces to prove a weak form of the Bakry-\'Emery estimate and study its consequences. This estimate may be satisfied in situations, like metric graphs, where generalized notions of Ricci curvature…

We customize the existing models for the bounded derived category of gentle algebras to obtain simple graph theoretic tools to analyze indecomposable objects, Auslander-Reiten triangles, and their interaction with the associated homological…

This is a survey of some aspects of the large-scale geometry of right-angled Coxeter groups. The emphasis is on recent results on their negative curvature properties, boundaries, and their quasi-isometry and commensurability classification.

We establish a uniform entropy bound for simply connected Ricci shrinkers with a finite second homotopy group and a uniform curvature bound. Additionally, we extend the non-collapsing result to a broader class of smooth metric measure…

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…

We develop eigenvalue estimates for the Laplacians on discrete and metric graphs using different types of boundary conditions at the vertices of the metric graph. Via an explicit correspondence of the equilateral metric and discrete graph…

We consider the class of compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with cylindrical boundary, Ricci curvature bounded below by a given constant and injectivity radius bounded below by a positive constant, away from the boundary. For a…

We classify all connected, simple, 3-regular graphs with girth at least 5 that are Ricci-flat. We use the definition of Ricci curvature on graphs given in Lin-Lu-Yau, Tohoku Math., 2011, which is a variation of Ollivier, J. Funct. Anal.,…

We introduce new definitions of sectional, Ricci and scalar curvature for networks and their higher dimensional counterparts, derived from two classical notions of curvature for curves in general metric spaces, namely, the Menger curvature…

We consider weighted graphs with an infinite set of vertices. We show that boundedness of all functions of finite energy can be seen as a notion of `relative compactness' for such graphs and study sufficient and necessary conditions for…

We give a sharp bound for the automorphism group of a cubic simple graph with a given number of vertices. For each number of vertices we give an explicit graph attaining the bound, and prove its uniqueness in special cases.

We consider the question of determining whether a given group (especially one generated by involutions) is a right-angled Coxeter group. We describe a group invariant, the involution graph, and we characterize the involution graphs of…

We use the theory of isoparametric functions to investigate gradient Ricci solitons with constant scalar curvature. We show rigidity of gradient Ricci solitons with constant scalar curvature under some conditions on the Ricci tensor, which…

A goal in network science is the geometrical characterization of complex networks. In this direction, we have recently introduced Forman's discretization of Ricci curvature to the realm of undirected networks. Investigation of this…

In this paper, we introduce a unified framework for defining Lin-Lu-Yau (LLY) Ricci curvature on both undirected and directed hypergraphs. By establishing upper bounds and monotonicity properties for the parameterized curvature…

We define the Ricci curvature, as a measure, for certain singular torsion-free connections on the tangent bundle of a manifold. The definition uses an integral formula and vector-valued half-densities. We give relevant examples in which the…

We prove that a Bishop-Gromov inequality gives a lower bound of coarse Ricci curvature. We also have an estimate of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian by a lower bound of coarse Ricci curvature.

To any finite graph $X$ (viewed as a topological space) we assosiate some explicit compact metric space ${\cal X}^r(X)$ which we call {\it the reflection tree of graphs $X$}. This space is of topological dimension $\le1$ and its connected…

We investigate the structure of a Finsler manifold of nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature including a straight line, and extend the classical Cheeger-Gromoll-Lichnerowicz splitting theorem. Such a space admits a diffeomorphic,…
