Discrete Ricci Curvature bounds for Bernoulli-Laplace and Random Transposition models
Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse : Mathématiques, Série 6, Tome 24 (2015) no. 4, pp. 781-800.

Nous calculons une borne inférieure pour la courbure de Ricci pour quelques exemples classiques de marches aléatoires. Notamment nous considérons une marche sur une tranche du cube discret (dite modèle de Bernoulli-Laplace) et la marche sur le groupe symétrique des permutations obtenue par produits de transpositions indépendantes et uniformes.

We calculate a Ricci curvature lower bound for some classical examples of random walks, namely, a chain on a slice of the n-dimensional discrete cube (the so-called Bernoulli-Laplace model) and the random transposition shuffle of the symmetric group of permutations on n letters.
