We modify the definition of Ricci curvature of Ollivier of Markov chains on graphs to study the properties of the Ricci curvature of general graphs, Cartesian product of graphs, random graphs, and some special class of graphs.

We prove a Harnack inequality for Dirichlet eigenfunctions of abelian homogeneous graphs and their convex subgraphs. We derive lower bounds for Dirichlet eigenvalues using the Harnack inequality. We also consider a randomization problem in connection with combinatorial games using Dirichlet eigenvalues. 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 34: 247257, 2000

We investigate quantum graphs with infinitely many vertices and edges without the common restriction on the geometry of the underlying metric graph that there is a positive lower bound on the lengths of its edges. Our central result is a close connection between spectral properties of a quantum graph and the corresponding properties of a certain weighted discrete Laplacian on the underlying discrete graph. Using this connection together with spectral theory of (unbounded) discrete Laplacians on infinite graphs, we prove a number of new results on spectral properties of quantum graphs. Namely, we prove several self-adjointness results including a Gaffney-type theorem. We investigate the problem of lower semiboundedness, prove several spectral estimates (bounds for the bottom of spectra and essential spectra of quantum graphs, CLR-type estimates) and study spectral types.

Let Q be an acyclic quiver and s be a sequence with elements in the vertex set Q_0. We describe an induced sequence of simple (backward) tilting in the bounded derived category D(Q), starting from the standard heart H_Q = modkQ and ending at another heart H_s in D(Q). Then we show that s is a green mutation sequence if and only if every heart in this simple tilting sequence is greater than or equal to HQ[−1]; it is maximal if and only if H_s = H_Q[−1]. This provides a categorical way to understand green mutations. Further, fix a Coxeter element c in the Coxeter group W_Q of Q, which is admissible with respect to the orientation of Q. We prove that the sequence \tilde{w} induced by a c-sortable word w is a green mutation sequence. As a consequence, we obtain a bijection between c-sortable words and finite torsion classes in H_Q. As byproducts, the interpretations of inversions, descents and cover reflections of a c-sortable word w are given in terms of the combinatorics of green mutations.

This erratum will correct the classification of Theorem 1 in Lin-Lu-Yau, Comm. Anal. Geom., 2014, that misses the Triplex graph.
