Abstract. In this paper we study Ollivier’s coarse Ricci-curvature for graphs, and obtain exact formulas for the Ricci-curvature for bipartite graphs and for the graphs with girth at least 5. These are the first formulas for Ricci-curvature which hold for a wide class of graphs. We also obtain a general lower bound on the Ricci-curvature involving the size of the maximum matching in an appropriate subgraph. As a consequence, we characterize Ricci-flat graphs of girth 5, and give the first necessary and sufficient condition for the structure of Ricci-flat regular graphs of girth 4. Finally, we obtain the asymptotic Ricci-curvature of random bipartite graphs G(n, n, p) and random graphs G(n, p), in various regimes of p. 1
