Discrete Einstein metrics on trees
Shuliang Bai, Haoxuan Cheng, Bobo Hua
We establish the existence and uniqueness of discrete Einstein metrics on trees under Lin-Lu-Yau Ricci curvature using Perron-Frobenius theory. We establish a sharp upper bound for…
Edge Subdivision and the Perron Eigenvalue of Tree Ricci Matrices
Shuliang Bai, Haoxuan Cheng, Bobo Hua
The Ricci matrix of a finite tree encodes its discrete Einstein metrics via the Perron eigenvector, with Lin-Lu-Yau's Ollivier Ricci curvature: . We show…
Positive-Curvature Discrete Einstein Metrics on Trees
Haoxuan Cheng
For a weighted tree, the Lin--Lu--Yau Ricci curvature admits an explicit formula in terms of the edge weights. Consequently, the constant-curvature equation is equivalent to an eig…
Spectral Monotonicity under Leaf Attachment and Limiting Behavior in Discrete Einstein Trees
Shuliang Bai, Haoxuan Cheng, Bobo Hua
Let be the Ricci matrix of a finite tree introduced in \cite{BaiChengHua2026}, the largest eigenvalue determines the sign of a discrete Einstein metric c…
