在图上，一对向量场的换位子通常不是向量场，而是二阶微分算子。我们通过研究半径为二的球的几何结构来探究与流形上向量场经典情形的这种差异，重点关注连接给定顶点与球心的长度为二的路径集。从二阶切丛的截面空间到二阶微分算子空间存在一个自然满射，其核反映了这些球的几何结构。利用此映射，我们得出了关于二阶微分算子的几个结论，包括标准型、伴随公式以及换位子为向量场的充要条件。
英文摘要
The commutator of a pair of vector fields on a graph is not a vector field in general, but rather a second order differential operator. We investigate this departure from the classical case of vectors fields on a manifold by examining the geometry of balls of radius two, concentrating on the set of paths of length two connecting a given vertex with the center of the ball. There is a natural surjection from the space of sections of the second tangent bundle to the space of second order differential operators whose kernel reflects the geometry of these balls. Using this map we draw several conclusions about second order differential operators including canonical forms, formulas for their adjoints, and a necessary and sufficient condition for a commutator to be a vector field.
