摘要：We concern in this talk the computation of Bakry-\'Emery curvature and Ollivier/Lin-Lu-Yau curvature of graphs. It is recently discovered that computing Bakry-\'Emery curvatures at a vertex of a graph reduces to calculating the smallest eigenvalue of a so-called curvature matrix and its rank-one perturbations. This provides an analogue of the basic fact in Riemannian geometry that the optimal Ricci curvature lower bound at a point is the smallest eigenvalue of the Ricci curvature tensor. For Ollivier/Lin-Lu-Yau curvature of graphs, it is known that the computation reduces to certain matching problem. We will particularly discuss the discrete curvatures of graphs with local regularities. While the curvatures of such graphs with girth at least 4 are relatively clear, the case of girth 3 is rather mysterious. This talk is based on joint works with David Cushing, Supanat Kamtue, Riikka Kangaslampi, Norbert Peyerimhoff and Xin-Tian Li.
