--- _id: '1448' abstract: - lang: eng text: We develop a new and systematic method for proving entropic Ricci curvature lower bounds for Markov chains on discrete sets. Using different methods, such bounds have recently been obtained in several examples (e.g., 1-dimensional birth and death chains, product chains, Bernoulli–Laplace models, and random transposition models). However, a general method to obtain discrete Ricci bounds had been lacking. Our method covers all of the examples above. In addition we obtain new Ricci curvature bounds for zero-range processes on the complete graph. The method is inspired by recent work of Caputo, Dai Pra and Posta on discrete functional inequalities. acknowledgement: "Supported by the German Research Foundation through the Collaborative Research Center 1060\r\nThe Mathematics of Emergent Effects and the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics.
