Abstract
Let \(G\) be a finite connected simple graph. We define the moduli space of conformal structures on \(G\). We propose a definition of conformally covariant operators on graphs, motivated by Graham et al. (J Lond Math Soc 46:557–565, 1992). We provide examples of conformally covariant operators, which include the edge Laplacian and the adjacency matrix on graphs. In the case where such an operator has a nontrivial kernel, we construct conformal invariants, providing discrete counterparts of several results in Canzani et al. (2014; Electron Res Announc Math Sci 20:43–50, 2013) established for Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we show that the nodal sets and nodal domains of null eigenvectors are conformal invariants.
