  • Description: <p>We consider the discrete Ricci curvature for graphs as defined by Schmuckenschläger [<italic>Convex geometric analysis</italic>, MSRI Publications, 1998] and compute its value for Bruhat graphs associated to finite Coxeter groups. To do so we work with the geometric realization of a finite Coxeter group and a classical result obtained by Dyer in [Compositio Math. 78 (1991), pp. 185–191]. As an application we obtain a bound for the spectral gap of the Bruhat graph of any finite Coxeter group and an isoperimetric inequality for them. Our proofs are case-free.</p>
