Graphs with nonnegative Bakry-\'Emery curvature without Quadrilateral

Abstract

The definition of Ricci curvature on graphs in Bakry-\'Emery's sense based on curvature dimension condition was introduced by Lin and Yau [\emph{Math. Res. Lett.}, 2010]. Hua and Lin [\emph{Comm. Anal. Geom.}, 2019] classified unweighted graphs satisfying the curvature dimension condition $CD(0,\infty)$ whose girth are at least five. In this paper, we classify all of connected unweighted normalized $C_4$-free graphs satisfying curvature dimension condition $CD(0,\infty)$ for minimum degree at least 2 and the case with non-normalized Laplacian without degree condition..
