Enhanced Forman curvature and its relation to Ollivier curvature

Abstract
Recent advances in emergent geometry and discretized approaches to quantum gravity have relied upon the notion of a discrete measure of graph curvature. We focus on the two main measures that have been studied, the so-called Ollivier-Ricci and Forman-Ricci curvatures. These two approaches have a very different origin, and both have advantages and disadvantages. In this work we study the relationship between the two measures for a class of graphs that are important in quantum gravity applications. We discover that under a specific set of circumstances they are equivalent, potentially opening up the possibility of exploiting the relative strengths of both approaches in models of emergent spacetime and quantum gravity.
