abstract

We introduce a modified non-linear heat equation $\partial_t u = \Delta u + \Gamma u$ as a substitute of $\log P_t f$ where $P_t$ is the heat semigroup. We prove an exponential decay of $\Gamma u$ under the Bakry Emery curvature condition $CD(K,\infty)$ and prove the Li-Yau inequality $-\Delta u_t \leq \frac{n}{2t}$ under the Bakry Emery curvature condition $CD(0,n)$. From this, we deduce the volume doubling property which solves a major open problem in discrete Ricci curvature. As an application, we show that there exist no expander graphs satisfying $CD(0,n)$.

    Connected bounded-degree graphs satisfying CD(0,∞) for the unnormalised Laplacian are volume doubling and satisfy scale-invariant L² Poincaré inequalities with dilation two.
