There has been very interesting work on defining curvature on a discrete graph. For example: >Knill, Oliver. "A graph theoretical Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem." arXiv:1111.5395 (2011). ([Abstract](https://arxiv.org/abs/1111.5395).) <hr /> [![enter image description here][1]][1] <hr /> Another discrete curvature is the Ollivier-Ricci curvature: > Bauer, Frank, Jürgen Jost, and Shiping Liu. "Ollivier-Ricci curvature and the spectrum of the normalized graph Laplace operator." arXiv:1105.3803 (2011). ([Abstract](https://arxiv.org/abs/1105.3803).) [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/2xFHD.png
