چکیده
In this article, we study relations between the local geometry of planar graphs (combinatorial curvature) and global geometric invariants, namely the Cheeger constants and the exponential growth. We also discuss spectral applications.

Geometric and spectral properties of locally tessellating planar graphs
In this article, we derive bounds for values of the global geometry of locally tessellating planar graphs, namely, the Cheeger constant and exponential growth, in terms of combinatorial curvatures. We also discuss spectral implications for the Laplacians.
متن کاملLower Bounds on the Cheeger Constants of Highly Connected Regular Graphs
We develop a method for obtaining lower bounds on the Cheeger constants of certain highly connected graphs. We then apply this technique to obtain new lower bounds on the Cheeger constants of two important families of graphs. Finally, we discuss the relevance of our bounds to determining the integrity of these graphs.
متن کاملCheeger constants, structural balance, and spectral clustering analysis for signed graphs
We introduce a family of multi-way Cheeger-type constants {h k , k = 1, 2, . . . , N} on a signed graph Γ = (G, σ) such that h k = 0 if and only if Γ has k balanced connected components. These constants are switching invariant and bring together in a unified viewpoint a number of important graph-theoretical concepts, including the classical Cheeger constant, the non-bipartiteness parameter of D...
متن کاملIsoperimetric Numbers of Regular Graphs of High Degree with Applications to Arithmetic Riemann Surfaces
We derive upper and lower bounds on the isoperimetric numbers and bisection widths of a large class of regular graphs of high degree. Our methods are combinatorial and do not require a knowledge of the eigenvalue spectrum. We apply these bounds to random regular graphs of high degree and the Platonic graphs over the rings Zn. In the latter case we show that these graphs are generally nonRamanuj...
متن کاملOn the Asymptotic Isoperimetric Constants for Riemann Surfaces and Graphs
We study the behavior of the Cheeger isoperimetric constant on infinite families of graphs and Riemann surfaces, and its relationship to the first eigenvalue λ1 of the Laplacian. We adapt probabilistic arguments of Bollobás to the setting of Riemann surfaces, and then show that Cheeger constants of the modular surfaces are uniformly bounded from above away from the maximum value. We extend this...
