Abstract

In this article we prove that antitrees with suitable growth properties are examples of infinite graphs exhibiting strictly positive curvature in various contexts: in the normalized and non-normalized Bakry-Émery setting as well in the Ollivier-Ricci curvature case. We also show that these graphs do not have global positive lower curvature bounds, which one would expect in view of discrete analogues of the Bonnet-Myers theorem. The proofs in the different settings require different techniques.
