### Eigenvalue asymptotics and unique continuation of eigenfunctions on planar graphs

• Mathematics
• 2021
We study planar graphs with large negative curvature outside of a finite set and the spectral theory of Schrödinger operators on these graphs. We obtain estimates on the first and second order term

### Banach spaces-valued ergodic theorems and spectral approximation

The present dissertation thesis is concerned with Banach space-valued convergence theorems along Folner type sequences in geometries with amenable structures. The text contains new ergodic theorems

### Bakry–Émery curvature and diameter bounds on graphs

• Mathematics
• 2016
We prove finiteness and diameter bounds for graphs having a positive Ricci-curvature bound in the Bakry–Émery sense. Our first result using only curvature and maximal vertex degree is sharp in the

### A note on the surjectivity of operators on vector bundles over discrete spaces

• Mathematics
Archiv der Mathematik
• 2019
In this note we give a short and self-contained proof for a criterion of Eidelheit on the solvability of linear equations in infinitely many variables. We use this criterion to study the surjectivity

### The Kazdan–Warner equation on canonically compactifiable graphs

• Mathematics
• 2017
We study the Kazdan–Warner equation on canonically compactifiable graphs. These graphs are distinguished as analytic properties of Laplacians on these graphs carry a strong resemblance to Laplacians

### Graphs with large girth and nonnegative curvature dimension condition

• Mathematics
Communications in Analysis and Geometry
• 2019
In this paper, we classify unweighted graphs satisfying the curvature dimension condition CD(0,\infty) whose girth are at least five.

### Sharp isoperimetric inequalities for infinite plane graphs with bounded vertex and face degrees

We give sharp bounds for isoperimetric constants of infinite plane graphs(tessellations) with bounded vertex and face degrees. For example if $G$ is a plane graph satisfying the inequalities \$p_1

### Agmon estimates for Schr\"odinger operators on graphs

• Mathematics
• 2021
We prove decay estimates for generalized eigenfunctions of discrete Schrödinger operators on weighted infinite graphs in the spirit of Agmon. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 39A12,

### UNIQUE CONTINUATION PRINCIPLES AND THEIR ABSENCE FOR SCHRöDINGER EIGENFUNCTIONS ON COMBINATORIAL AND QUANTUM GRAPHS AND IN CONTINUUM SPACE

• Mathematics
• 2017
For the analysis of the Schrodinger and related equations it is of central importance whether a unique continuation principle (UCP) holds or not. In continuum Euclidean space, quantitative forms of

In the present paper, we apply Alexandrov geometry methods to study geometric analysis aspects of infinite semiplanar graphs with nonnegative combinatorial curvature in the sense of Higuchi. We

A combinatorial analogue of Bochner's theorems is derived, which demonstrates that there are topological restrictions to a space having a cell decomposition with everywhere positive curvature.

It is shown that non-positive curvature implies that the graph is infinite and locally similar to a tessellation, and a characterization for triviality of the essential spectrum by uniform decrease of the curvature is given.

• Mathematics
• 2013
We examine a condition on a simply connected 2-complex X ensuring that groups acting properly on X are coherent. This extends earlier work on 2-complexes with negative sectional curvature which

We study the structure of certain simply connected 2-dimensional complexes with non-positive curvature. We obtain a precise description of how these complexes behave at infinity and prove an

Regarding an infinite planar graph G as a discrete analogue of a noncompact simply connected Riemannian surface, we introduce the combinatorial curvature of G corresponding to the sectional curvature

Let X be a non-compact complete manifold (or a graph) which admits a quasi-pole and has bounded local geometry. Suppose that X is Gromov-hyperbolic and the diameters (for a fixed Gromov metric) of

We show that a geodesic metric space, and in particular the Cayley graph of a finitely generated group, is hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov if and only if intersections of any two metric balls is

• Mathematics
• 2004
This paper is concerned with elliptic operators on plane tessellations. We show that such an operator does not admit a compactly supported eigenfunction if the combinatorial curvature of the

AbstractWe define a new notion of sectional curvature for 2-complexes, and describe a variety of examples with nonpositive or negative sectional curvature. The 2-complexes with nonpositive sectional
